It is desirable to increase the presence of artists in scientific and 
entrepreneurial contexts, and the presence of scientists and 
entrepreneurs in artistic contexts to:
 
- develop new sources of innovation and creativity within science and 
technology;
- change the context and the direction of science and technology (social 
embedding)
- disseminate the fruits of science into society at large;
- integrate artists into scientific and innovative teams and industry 
contexts;
- encourage knowledge transfer and professional development.

- Exchange of lessons learned, practices and methodologies, for 
operation and evaluation of collaborations in science and industry R and 
D settings.

advocacy.
- Open up discourses about information, progress, ethics, social impact.
