Tomorrow, April 29th, 2022 at 1 – 5 PM, join us in Lund to talk about the Buzz of Europe – and why we see such large fundings and investments in R&D from the EU in the cultural & creative sectors & industries (CCSI).

CCSI is also the buzz of Lund University, that together with Friends are building a Knowledge Innovation Community. Being a comprehensive university with faculties in fine and performing arts, humanities and theology, economy and management, engineering and technology, law, medicine, science, and social sciences, we aim to contribute to the transformation of society by giving space to interaction between disciplines and friends.

The event is organized by the Collaboration Office at Lund University together with partners within the community Creatives and Friends.

We welcome everyone that would like to be part of our community Creatives & Friends, companies, entrepreneurs and artists, researchers and universities, cities and regions, politicians and officials.

The event will be livestreamed and will go live through this link on April 29, 1 PM CET.
