(cont'd) The main premise of this call is that a joint approach of the digital with the arts will help induce changes in our mindsets, on a business, on a societal and on an individual level.
Art and its capacity to present data and induce novel experiences (not the least with novel digital technologies like AR/VR) might be a game changer in the way information can induce changes of values and behaviour.
Another important aspect is community involvement where digital and the arts can play jointly an equally important role in enabling participatory collective data gathering.
Art can ultimately drive creative solutions to SDG goals by questioning established patterns and pushing technology to limits.
Among others, the action will build on S+T+ARTS programme -innovation at the nexus of Science, Technology, and the ARTS.
With STARTS, DG CONNECT - has promoted art as a fruitful element in helping digital technologies making a difference for humans and environment.
Applicants targeted: organisations working at the interface of art with technology and ecology, technology institutions and end-users willing to team up with artists, art institutions, foundations.
Description of the activities: residencies of artists in industry and technology institutions and concrete small-scale activities that point to new pathways for policy and society (via third part funding), exhibitions, dissemination, awareness raising actions, educational activities.

Remarks This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the preparatory action.
The platform supports data-driven policymaking - at regional, national and European levels - by providing macro-level trusted insights into the growth potential of various startup ecosystems.
It has already informed and will be an important tool to monitor progress towards, for example, the targets set out in the recent Commission Communication on the 2030 Digital Compass (COM(2021) 118 final) and the impact of the EU Startup Nations Standard adopted by 25 Member States to date.
A follow-up ‘European Startups 2.0’ project would support the consolidation of the platform and its transition to becoming a self-sustaining resource available to policymakers and other private and public technology ecosystem holders in the medium- and longer-term.
Startups and scaleups are key to Europe's future economy and society.
They have become a significant contributor of new, quality jobs and are by far the fastest and most resilient growing job engine with 10% year-on-year growth.
Two million people are now employed in tech startups across Europe and this is expected to rise to 3,2 million by 2025.
Startups and scaleups have a proven capacity to develop breakthrough innovations in response to real world needs, create new jobs and build synergies with Europe’s strong traditional industries.
The role startups can play in the recovery from the ongoing crisis - and in accelerating the green and digital transformation - cannot be understated.
