On Wednesday, 25 August 2010, ISEA2010 RUHR presents an extensive excursion programme. The conference programme pauses for the day to offer all participants the opportunity to take part in these excursions. One of the excursions is hosted by BALTAN Laboratories in collaboration with 2018Brabant Cultural Capital of Europe | Candidate.

Registration at: http://www.isea2010ruhr.org/programme/excursions

This one-day excursion introduces participants to the history and contemporary context of creativity and technological innovation of the Dutch Brabant region. The excursion will take place at two locations in Eindhoven: Strijp-S, a 66-acre former Philips industrial terrain, once known as the ‘forbidden city’ and now the largest urban development project in the Netherlands; and the High Tech Campus, an R&D ecosystem of more than 90 companies and institutes, and more than 8,000 people. It is an opportunity to get a sampling of a number of unique projects and developments from around the region, ranging from an ambitious experiment with RFID technology by the STRP festival in Eindhoven to the CAD/CAM residency programme of the European Ceramic Workcentre in Den Bosch to the open innovation context of High Tech Campus Eindhoven.

On June 11th, BALTAN Laboratories will participate in the i_beta/ festival in Heerlen. i_beta/ festival is organised by Social Beta – Euregional Centre for e-culture.

Thought processes moreover that are inspired by e-culture should also form the basis for new (economic) models and connecting factors for this region.
