The EU-supported project Sparks has officially started. Gathering 33 organisations from 29 European countries, and led by Ecsite, Sparks is aimed at bridging the gap between the super-fast pace of scientific innovation and society through an interactive exhibition and over 230 engaging activities taking place across the whole of the European Union.

Science is advancing at an incredible speed. Mobile technologies are empowering citizens to perform tasks currently accomplished by medical staff such as diagnosis and counselling. The “big data” generated by our connected lives offer unprecedented information to governments and companies, in areas as diverse as dietary habits and epidemics. Developments in artificial intelligence are creating a seamless integration between humans and the machines.

CRA will present here the regular SPARKS Press Releases::

• Official launch of the Sparks project: bridging the gap between science and society.
• Three artistic projects to be developed for the Sparks exhibition.
• Sparks’ exhibition starts its European tour in 4 countries from 6 July 2016 ‘Beyond the Lab: the DIY Science Revolution’
