| Title | Policy Roundtable: Strengthening Artistic Research and Supporting Linguistic and Cultural Diversity |
| Format | Roundtable contribution |
| Main language | English |
| Abstract | This proposal follows up on the statement shared by Teresa Ribera, Vice President of the EU, at the PACESETTERS Summit (November 2025), where she suggested, 'Let us reclaim competitiveness as collaboration. Let us make Europe’s diversity — linguistic, cultural, and territorial — our most powerful asset”. The roundtable will discuss how artistic research can explore, support and promote linguistic and cultural diversity, and how these capacities can be strengthened within research and policy frameworks. Drawing on ongoing debates within cultural policy, arts research evaluation, and science and technology studies, this session brings together practitioners, researchers, funding agencies, and institutional leaders to interrogate normative assumptions and practical mechanisms for policy integration. Specifically, the discussion will examine three interrelated dimensions: epistemic recognition (policy as a space for plural knowledge systems), governance and funding design (structures that align with artistic methodologies), and impact and accountability (approaches that respect both qualitative richness and policy reporting needs). The roundtable will include Florian Schneider and representative of the Policy Work Package from the COST Action on Artistic Intelligence, whose contribution will provide insight from ongoing transnational coordination and policy-oriented research across Europe. The session is designed not only as a forum for debate but as a structured policy-development moment. The discussion will culminate in a set of concrete recommendations synthesised from the exchange among participants. These recommendations will form the basis of a policy brief aimed at European and national decision-makers, contributing to the consolidation of a more coherent and enabling framework for artistic research. |

| Additional information | This policy roundtable builds on the work carried out in the PACESETTERS Research and Innovation Action and the Artistic Intelligence COST Action. If the proposal is successful, the organisers will invite additional experts from these projects and related networks, such as the JRC SciArts, STARTS and the Artistic Research Alliance, to contribute to the event and provide relevant policy insights.

| Spatial and technical requirements | We are flexible and can arrange for a roundtable discussion with 20 - 30 people seated on tables, or we can provide a panel discussion with 4-5 speakers in front of an audience. We would like to discuss these two options with the organisers of the SAR conference and make a decision together with them. |
