20 OCT 2025 · In this episode, Simona De Rosa, Partner and Senior Researcher at T6 Ecosystems, presents T6 work with policy dialogue in European projects by bringing a concrete example: the PACESETTERS Policy Brief, a document we delivered to highlight the role of artistic research in Europe’s regenerative future.
Over the years, T6 has developed a structured approach to policy dialogue, but we do not have a unique receipt. The process is tailored made for the projects where we are engaged. For example, for the policy brief “PACESETTERS: Empowering Creative and Cultural Practitioners to shape Europe’s Regenerative Future” we start from research, but we translate findings into strategic, actionable recommendations. We time our outputs to match key EU debates, like the next Horizon Europe Work Programme or the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework, and we frame our recommendations in a way that resonates with policymakers — concrete, practical, and linked to Europe’s wider competitiveness and transition goals.
Through this process, T6 acts as a mediator: connecting the world of research and innovation with the world of policy.

Florian also coordinates the https://pacesetters.eu/, in which T6 is a partner. PACESETTERS seeks to accelerate the climate transition by moving beyond individual, short-term entrepreneurship toward collaborative and sustainable action. The project explores support mechanisms that empower art, culture, creativity, and heritage to drive climate action.
In this episode, Simona and Florian focus on the importance of artistic research as a game changer in research practices. They highlight both the value and the challenges of interdisciplinarity, sharing how they address these complexities to demonstrate the transformative power of collective action in driving sustainable change.
Enjoy listening!

21 AUG 2025 · In this episode, Sara Giorgi, researcher at T6 Ecosystems, takes us behind the scenes of one of the most crucial elements of the https://circeular.org/: stakeholder engagement.
CircEUlar explores how to drive societal transformation toward a net-zero circular economy, focusing on mobility, buildings and appliances, and digitalisation.
Sara shares two parallel workstreams which form the basis of our stakeholder engagement approach, and speaks about the challenges, not just as a formality, but as an embedded, meaningful part of the process.
But what makes T6's approach unique? Flexibility, timing, and an insistence on dialogue over data extraction. Stakeholder input directly shapes the development of circular economy pathways through activities like co-validation with modelers and visual storytelling. When done right, stakeholder engagement doesn't just support research, it transforms it: learn more in this episode!
As Lead partner for the communication activities in CircEUlar, we, as T6, have also curated a series of conversations between CircEUlar researchers and contemporary artists. These dialogues have been captured in the video series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6ncYF7BGt-9LPLgfTV5FvlwJGmEYb4Vl&si=folJ7RkKNKah1VAL to bring fresh energy to scientific communication, making complex ideas around climate change and the circular economy more accessible and emotionally resonant!

13 AUG 2025 · In this episode, Katja Firus, Partner and Head of the Sustainability Department at T6 Ecosystems, interviews Nora Mayr, a freelance curator, lecturer at the Node Center for Curatorial Studies, and since 2022 part of the Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab (AIL) at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Nora collaborated with us on a special arts and science initiative, that was part of the European project called https://circeular.org/, in which T6 is a consortium member.
Together, they explore how research shapes the way we live, work, and interact with our planet; how it drives transformative solutions; and how it can translate into real-world impact by moving from ideas to action.
The episode reflects about the role that arts and the collaboration between scientists and artists can have in order to present complex scientific work to a broader audience, by looking at climate-change related research and in particular the collaboration of CircEUlar with the KlimaBiennale 2024 in Vienna through the https://circeular.org/science-art/. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6ncYF7BGt-9LPLgfTV5FvlwJGmEYb4Vl&feature=shared

31 JUL 2025 · In this episode, we speak with Salvatore Custureri, researcher at T6 Ecosystems, about the design process of the https://partart4ow.eu/.
The first Open Call for Participatory Art Initiatives was launched to identify and support 19 of these initiatives that use art to spark civic engagement, raise water literacy, and mobilize local communities around specific environmental challenges. Each selected initiative receives funding, mentorship, visibility, learning and exchange opportunities.
Salvatore presents how T6 led the co-design sessions that brought together marine scientists, artists, activists, and community stakeholders. We applied our expertise in stakeholder mapping, participatory methodologies, and socio-economic impact assessment to embed our core values directly into the call.
