The objective of KreativEU Knowledge-Creation and Design Network on Smart Sustainability is to establish a European knowledge-creation and design network that mobilises the four missions of Higher Education (Education, Research, Innovation and Service to Society) to develop, through a challenge-based approach, Ethical-by-Design and Sustainable-by-Design AI systems based on European values. The challenge-based approaches through which these AI systems will be developed purposely account for European values, identity, and diversity, resting on the premise that European history and both tangible and intangible European heritage are key components of a future that is enriching, sustainable, and inclusive. Consequently, the resulting innovative yet feasible and effective AI systems will have the potential to contribute significantly to addressing global challenges, such as climate change, digital transition, biodiversity loss, inequality, and social exclusion in a way that aligns with European values and policies.
KreativEU Knowledge-Creation and Design Network on Smart Sustainability entails:
- establishing a knowledge-creation and design network that brings together students, lecturers, researchers, entrepreneurs, companies, local and regional actors, and civil society actors working together based on a challenge-based approach to develop European AI systems for addressing global challenges,
- acquisition of lessons learned,
- setting up of the KreativEU Smart Sustainability Think Tank.
KreativEU Knowledge-Creation and Design Network on Smart Sustainability is coordinated by Adana Alparslan Türkeş University of Science and Technology (Leader) and Breda University of Applied Sciences (Co-leader).
