  Arts and Crafts : Challenges and Economic Outlook

  Les métiers d’art fascinent par la richesse de leurs savoir-faire et par leur créativité. Rarement souligné, leur potentiel économique est pourtant considérable. Accompagnant les mutations de l’économie globale, les compétences couvertes par ces métiers sont aujourd’hui recherchées dans une très grande variété de secteurs. À l’heure de la numérisation de la production et de la commercialisation, les métiers d’art constituent plus que jamais un atout pour le développement économique et social de l’Europe. Une nouvelle approche est aujourd’hui nécessaire pour mieux comprendre les opportunités qu’ils représentent pour d’autres secteurs économiques et pour le développement d’activités dont l’Europe peut devenir leader.

  The Paradigmatic City: Origins, Avatars, Frontiers

  Ao longo da história da civilização, as cidades oferecem-nos paradigmas. Elas personificam formas ideais de vida social; surgem como capitais de impérios, mas também como centros de uma identidade nacional, cultural e religiosa; são focos de desenvolvimento económico e político. Todas estas formas se revestem de particular interesse para este congresso. Muitas cidades podem ser consideradas paradigmáticas: Atenas ou Roma, na Antiguidade Clássica; Veneza e Florença, como reflexo das dinâmicas transformações do Renascimento; Londres, Paris e Berlim, como capitais da Modernidade; Nova Iorque, Rio de Janeiro, Tóquio ou Xangai, como epítomes das novas metrópoles em franco crescimento.

  Arts and Crafts: challenges and economic outlook

  Arts and Crafts typically bring to mind high quality, highly technical products with high added value. Nonetheless, crafts remain misunderstood, particularly in terms of their economic realities. After conducting an initial review of the current state of affairs and the issues facing the world of artistic crafts during the international conference held in February 2013 on “Talking about Arts and Crafts”, the aim of these next two days of international conference will be to look at them from an economic perspective. What is the place of artistic crafts in our economy? What are the business models used by crafts companies? What are their target markets? What role does innovation play in crafts? What are the latest developments in crafts production? How can we support the economic development of crafts?
