I had the opportunity to participate in a three day conference organized by Nova Iskra and the consortium of ECHN project partners. The three main sessions are dedicated to the questions of space, community and businessmodels of creative hubs. As a part of each session, three organizations will be presented, and then take part in a short panel discussion.
The international conference How Work Works is a part of the European Creative Hubs Network project, initiated by the British Council’s Creative Economy department, in which Nova Iskra participates together with partners from Greece, Spain, Germany, Belgium and Great Britain. More than 150 delegates, hub leaders and a number of European and regional stakeholders will come together in Belgrade at the first of the three forthcoming forums, in order to map the European eco-system of hubs active in the fields of education and entrepreneurship, and support their networking, knowledge exchange and capacity building.
The conference will be attended by managers of some of Europe’s leading creative hubs from more than 25 countries, including Betahaus (Berlin, Sofia), Waag Society (Amsterdam), Taktal (Glasgow), Fabrica Cultural(Madrid), Sektor5 (Vienna), Todos (Lisboa), Cable Factory (Helsinki), Stpln (Malmö), The Roco (Sheffield), The Trampery (London), La Vallee (Brussels), Bios/Romantcho (Athens), Republikken (Copenhagen), Poligon, Roglab (Ljubljana), MOB makerspace (Barcelona), Atoyle Labs (Istanbul), The Fusebox (Brighton), Frappant (Hamburg), Design Terminal (Budapest) as well as numerous others, including all relevant local and regional initiatives.
