Other Borders

Position 7PQ: Capacities. Science in Society

Goal: to spread and help the new scientific nanotechnology border with a shared job between researchers and artists.

Market goal: innovators, pioneers, predated majority

Present Company description:
Coordination, association CASO,
Partner 1 – Swedish association;
Partner 2 – Slovak association;
Partner 3 – Leonardo on line magazine-
After the European Board selection it will be established the OTHER BORDERS COMBINE.

Company structure: functional

Development and general schedule: 6 nanotechnology arguments will be touched:
A) Nano and macro world
B) Photovoltaic
C) Nanomedicine
D) Ethic
E) Environmental impact
F) New materials

1. For every arguments the project director will choose 2 scientific coordinators and 2 artistic
coordinators, in all there will be 12 coordinators.

2. Everybody’s function will be to select 3 artists and 3 researchers for their specific argument
and for their skills (artistic or scientific).

At the end there will be in all 18 artists and 18 researchers. Every argument will be examined by 8 people – 1 artistic coordinator, 1 scientific coordinator, 3 artists, 3 researchers.
Every artist/researcher will be chosen on the base of one essential characteristic: multifeeling.
Every work team will meet, compare ideas, produce things throughout a period of 2 years.
All the works will be presented and exposed time by time in scientific parks, scientific museums, HiTech fairs, etc…to be seen/listened/read/touched by all the visitors.
The European and Extra European tour coordination will be decided between the partners. Every tour will last two years.
At the end of the tour, all the works will be back in Italy and exposed in different places where conferences, meetings, congresses will be based on the 6 big arguments with the presence of every coordinator, artist and researcher in conjunction with well-known world guests.

.OTHERBORDERS will be repeated every 7 years and will be presented at every PQ supporting the European Community program.

Veneto, the region in North Eastern Italy which includes Venice, is one of the most innovative areas in Europe. It has been the leader of the Italian industrial development for the last decades, with plenty of small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) focused on exporting "smart" products and niche technologies. Many of these SMEs use or produce materials that will be affected by nanotechnologies.

Moreover, Veneto universities (Padua, Venice and Verona) have excellent research units concentrated in nanotechnologies applied to materials.

That's why in 2002 the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research decided to create in Veneto a high-tech cluster on nanotechnologies applied to properties of materials: Veneto Nanotech. The cluster is funded by the central government, the regional government of Veneto and local administrations and institutions, for an expected total investment of 55-60 million Euros over 5 years.
