The event, moderated by Ettore De Lorenzo, featured insightful speeches by Andrea Coluccia and Marzia Santone from the Creative Europe Italy Desk, who outlined the funding opportunities provided by the European programme.
3D Research, with the speeches by President Fabio Bruno and CTO Marco Cozza, showcased its expertise in virtual and augmented reality during an engaging presentation. The discussion featured two prominent European projects, ART4SEA and CREAMARE, which were successfully developed with the support of the Creative Europe Programme.
ART4SEA uniquely brings together art, science and technology. The project encourages collaboration between artists, scientists, creative professionals and digital innovators, creating synergies capable of inspiring and engaging a wider audience. The aim is to engage people to change their relationship with the ocean, fostering a new vision of sustainability and preservation of the marine ecosystem.
CREAMARE project is dedicated to promoting and preserving Underwater Cultural Heritage, a hidden treasure waiting to be rediscovered and protected. The project aims to raise awareness of critical social and environmental challenges, including marine pollution and the numerous threats to ocean ecosystems.
Next, Fabio Belsanti, Founder of AgeOfGames, explored the topic of immersive content, while Valeria Told, CEO of Fortissimo Education, illustrated a case study related to the Creative Innovation Lab.
The meeting provided a clear overview of European funding opportunities, focusing on key aspects such as cooperation, innovation and sustainability.
