With background in science, Michel van Dartel’s journey from AI research to directing innovative contemporary art platform: V2_ Lab.: “There's a lot for scientists to learn from artistic approaches and vice versa. That's also why I'm now involved in initiatives that are creating those bridges while trying to be sensible about what we can expect from art-science collaborations."

Barbara Franchin built ITS in Trieste into a global fashion talent incubator supporting designers like Demna and Matthieu Blazy.
