ARS ELECTRONICA ARCHIVE – AI LAB

The European ARTificial Intelligence Lab (AI Lab) is a follow-up project to the European Digital Art and Science Network, a creative collaboration between scientific institutions, Ars Electronica and cultural partners throughout Europe that unites science and digital art. The European ARTificial Intelligence Lab follows on from this and addresses visions, expectations and fears that we associate with artificial intelligence. The consortium consists of 13 cultural institutions from Europe with Ars Electronica as coordinator. This online archive provides an overview of all activities carried out during the project's lifetime from 2018 to 2021. It also provides information about the network itself, the residency artists and juries, and the project partners involved. The AI Lab is co-funded by the EU program "Creative Europe (2014-2020)" and by the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport.

Center for Promotion of Science (Serbien) - KONSORTIUM

The Center for the Promotion of Science (CPN) in Serbia is a public institution established in 2010 with the task to promote science and technology. The Center, according to its mandate, cooperates with research and educational institutions (universities, research centers and schools) in Serbia and worldwide. The CPN’s mission is to bridge the gap between science and society by bringing together researchers, educators, artists, policy makers, civil society organizations, business and industry and the general public in the process of research and innovation. The ultimate aim is to influence and adapt the general research agendas to reflect the needs of the society and to address societal challenges engaging all actors involved in the process. In following years, the focus will be put on climate changes and artificial intelligence as two most relevant scientific and societal issues and topics nowadays. The Center organizes a large number of exhibitions, lectures, panel discussions and other events on different STE(A)M topics and subjects (mathematics, physics, robotics, archeology, psychology, genetics, biology, architecture etc.). CPN was involved in 31 European collaborations since 2012, while it’s currently part of seven H2020, one Creative Europe and four Erasmus+ projects, and two additional COST actions.

The Practice of Art and AI - text CPN

Center for the Promotion of Science (CPN) is a public institution established in 2010 by the Government of Republic of Serbia with the task to promote science and technology. The Center, according to its mandate, cooperates with research and educational institutions (universities, research centers and schools) in Serbia and worldwide, works closely with the government ministries as well as the media and the private sector.
CPN’s mission is to bridge the gap between science and society by bringing together researchers, educators, policy makers, civil society organisations, business and industry and the general public in the process of research and innovation. The ultimate aim is to influence and adapt the general research agendas to reflect the needs of the society and to address societal challenges engaging all actors involved in the process. Through numerous activities on the national and regional levels, the Center is advocating and fostering the ideas and concepts of Responsible Research and Innovation and Open Science.
Center organises numerous exhibitions, educational workshops, lectures, panel discussions and other kinds of events on different topics (climate issues, mathematics, artificial intelligence, robotics, archeology, biology, etc.) “May Month of Mathematics - M3” (annual event since 2012), “Days of the Future: Robotics”, “CERN in Serbia” and “art+science” (annual series since 2016), are the most prestigious examples. Behind all exhibitions and other formats is the idea to create them in an interactive and engaging way, so visitors can play an active and contributing part.
One of the most popular products of the CPN is a popular-science magazine entitled “Elements”, which is published four times per year. Each edition has its main topic, which is elaborated by renowned local and international scientists, science communicators and journalists. It also brings original illustrations by established and young designers and artists as well. Being a beacon of science journalism in the region, the CPN has been among the initiators of the Balkan Network of Science Journalists.
In parallel with Center’s core activities, the Department of International Cooperation is handling at the moment 10 active EU projects out of 40 projects in which CPN has been involved since 2012, funded through diverse programs and calls (Horizon 2020, Creative Europe, Erasmus+, FP7, LLP, COST). CPN has strategic partnership and signed cooperation agreements with numerous entities across the globe, including participation in several relevant European and global networks.
At national level, the Center is facilitating and coordinating the Network of Science Clubs, which currently consists of 15 units exceptionally well spread across Serbia. Additionally, CPN financially and logistically supports around 70 science promotion and popularisation projects of its local partners, after an annual public call.
