The Athens Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ACE) and ONASSIS ONX — the global new media and digital culture program of the Onassis Foundation — joined forces to launch a pioneering Summer School designed to empower aspiring professionals, students and businesses with the mindset, skills, and tools to shape the future.
“Innovation, Tech & Culture” is a 10-day Summer School exploring the intersection of arts, culture, technology, and entrepreneurship. Through hands-on experiences, interdisciplinary collaboration, and expert guidance, participants will develop innovative concepts that are radical, ethical, sustainable — and ready to make an impact.
Art becomes a driving force for innovation. As creative practices evolve, they test conventional boundaries and inspire new business models grounded in justice, ethics, and environmental sustainability. This Summer School fosters an environment where bold ideas and commercial viability can co-exist.
The program is delivered in partnership with the Tandon School of Engineering at New York University, combining international academic expertise with creative practice and entrepreneurial insight.
The program is open toprofessionals or students active in the arts, design, and cultural sectors, as well as in technology and business.
Ideal participants have a passion for innovation and collaboration, and a desire to merge creative expression with entrepreneurial impact.
Participation is free of charge, but transportation and accommodation costs are not provided by the organizers.
Participants are selected by a joint committee from the Onassis Foundation and the Athens University of Economics and Business, based on:
Certificate of Completion from the Center of Education and Lifelong Learning of the Athens University of Economics and Business (KEΔIBIM ΟΠΑ)
Availability to attend the full duration of the program in person is required
Teamwork and active participation are expected
