FilmEU WIRE STUDENT PILOTS (2025)
Call for proposals
WHAT IS THE CALL ABOUT?
This year, the FilmEU Alliance calls for proposals for new student pilots to work on the initiative for "Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities." WIRE Horizon pilots aim to transform scientific insights into engaging narratives and experiences that spark curiosity, reflection, and action. FilmEU_WIRE brings together eight European higher education institutions to collaborate around the common objective of jointly promoting artistic research, innovation and educational activities in the multidisciplinary field of Film and Media Arts. This call is designed to support the integration of young researchers.
This is a good opportunity to foster their scientific output, gain more experience, and push the boundaries of what artistic research can achieve in (and for) our cities.
We seek artistic research projects that bring creative methodologies and enable us to think about positive change. The proposal should ideally align with the topic and methodology of ongoing PhD research and could assist with, for instance: reimagining sustainable technologies through immersive artistic interpretations; enhancing public engagement by visualising climate data in ways that resonate emotionally and intellectually; and challenging urban systems with new ideas for energy efficiency, sustainable transport, or circular economies. These are just a few broad topics and prospects.
WHAT IS EXPECTED?
Requirements
Use your creative imagination and cinematic, performative or any other specific artistic vision to enable carbon neutrality and promote smart cities soon.
- Student pilots can engage senior or junior researchers based at partner HEIs;
- FilmEU Doctus should be one of the academic events to engage new members and present the work carried out in the pilots;
- Artistic research outputs will be presented at the WIRE Research Days in Bratislava, in 2026.
