πͺ Testing the Cross-Innovation Compass in Lier, Belgium βΌοΈ
On 12 November 2025, Arteconomy organised a Cross-Innovation Compass testing workshop at De Kwekerij in Lier.
The workshop formed part of a European cooperation project between Arteconomy and De Structura, supported by the Erasmus+ Programme. β»οΈ
The session was designed as a hands-on testing environment πβπ»
Participants worked directly with selected Compass tools, formats, and prompts, applying them to real professional contexts.
We explored questions such as:
βͺ How can cross-innovation be implemented in higher education?
βͺ How can young graduates apply artistic methods across sectors?
The programme included:
π² A guided introduction to the Compass
π² A role-playing board game immersing participants in cross-innovation scenarios
π² Parallel working sessions
π² A plenary reflection
The focus was on testing clarity, adaptability, and transferability βΌοΈ Qualitative feedback was collected through facilitated discussions and evaluation moments.
Next stop: CIDAY26 in Tallinn, where the Compass continues its journey. π’

β‘οΈCross-Innovation Day: save the date!β‘οΈ
π6.3.2026, 10.00-18.00
π Kai Art Centre, Tallinn
Cross-Innovation Day is a one-day deep dive into art-based cross-innovation where artists, policymakers, industry professionals, researchers, and cultural workers meet in contexts they do not usually share.
Across defence & security, circular economy, and engineering, we will explore how artistic methods can be embedded in real organisational and policy processes. Expect panel talks, group work, parallel sessions, 1:1 walking dialogues, and yes, new connections too.
Participants will also get early access to the Cross-Innovation Compass, a new resource developed by De Structura and Arteconomy in collaboration with EIT Culture & Creativity.
