The aim of the project is to explore the potential of European society to adapt to new social challenges and to approach their solutions creatively; through a deeper understanding of Europe, other cultures, their identification strategies, and value systems, participants will be able to reflect on their own place in the world and consider today’s civilizational problems in a broader context, including understanding their underlying causes. The project will therefore focus on the foundations of European identity as well as the very nature of the categories of cultural identity, creativity, adaptation, and innovation. On this basis, it will competently formulate recommendations for optimizing models of conflict prevention in society or for preparing expert reports in response to the demands of public institutions or elected representatives. An integral part of the project is also linking the target outputs with technical domains, such as IT, specific areas of the digital economy, and the cultural and creative industries. The ultimate goal of the project is to create an infrastructure that provides a supportive environment for excellent research and the development of international cooperation within the Science and Research Center.
