WIRE by FilmEU has selected two new Horizon Mission Pilots and awarded each with seed funding for research pilot projects.
The two Horizon Mission Pilots will foster the use of artistic research to address the Horizon Mission to “Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities.” FilmEU WIRE aligns with the Horizon mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by positioning artistic research as a vital driver of urban transformation—harnessing creative practices to generate innovative solutions, deepen public awareness, stimulate inclusive dialogue, and catalyse collective action toward sustainable, climate-neutral futures in European cities. Restoring Urban Landscapes with Family Films (RULFF) reimagines smart cities by using digitized community films to link past and present, fostering co-creation, dialogue, and film-based insights that support sustainable, human-centric, climate-neutral urban development and social connectivity. ERRAR is an artistic research project using photography to explore smart-city urban life, questioning data-driven models and user roles, fostering collaborative, experimental dissemination through a portable journal, and reimagining sustainable, plural urban futures through wandering.
The pilots involve 13 researchers from 5 FilmEU partners, from senior researchers to early career researchers, practitioners, PhD researchers, and research students.
