ิhe two-day "Creativity: Innovative, Open and Economically Sustainable Models of Creative Production" international conference, organized by EKT was successfully completed. The conference took place in Athens, on 30/9 and 01/10/2013 as part of the European project "Creativity: Innovative Models of Production and Access" , in collaboration with the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens.
During the conference, speakers from Greece and abroad, academicians, artists and active young entrepreneurs gave their mark at a conference that managed to combine the latest technological advances with the current artistic production, seen through the prism of innovative, open creative models and the conditions they require.
The first day of the "Creativity" Conference focused on the emergence of the productive dynamics of creative industries, such as digital applications' and software development, architecture, design, production of cultural content, advertising etc.
The participants positions clearly evidenced that the creative industries are no longer viewed with skepticism, as their contribution to the economic and social reconstruction can be of great importance. Their significance as an example of production is even greater if we take into account that they are primarily based on collaborative models and open structures with self-productive yet mass character.
During the second day of the conference, the interest was mainly focused on the practical application of " openness" to both art and entrepreneurship. The presentation of the new group exhibition organized by the National Museum of Contemporary Art named "Afresh" , launched on October 24th, and of six works implemented with the support of the National Documentation Centre, highlighted the current role of the " commons" , of "openness" and new sources of creation.
