Introduction This workshop will invite attendees to consider the types of policies which policy makers might develop to attract people working across art and science. The focus will be on stimulating collaboration between policy makers and the maker/hacker movement, including discussion of the ways in which makerspaces can contribute to innovation strategies. This workshop stems from the learning of the Urban Manufacturing Interreg Europe project, a European-wide initiative started in 2017 to help makerspaces thrive and will be delivered by members of the STEAMhouse team.
What is the expected outcome of the workshop? Notes will be taken in a mind mapping format + the idea is mainly to join with other makers and hackers in order to create a european task force
