The 2007/08 round comprises 9 research projects to be developed from November 2007 to July 2008.

After closing the participation of the 9 hosting companies, an international call for artists was organized, open from July 2007 to October 2007. Over 180 proposals were received, sent by 174 artists (group of artists or individual artists) from 35 countries.

When the call concluded, a jury formed by international experts selected various dossiers for each requested research in order to present them to the corresponding participating entity. The members of the jury were Cecilia Andersson (curator and director of Werk Ltd, a curatorial agency based in Stockholm, Sweden), Bronac Ferran (researcher, writer and producer specialising in interdisciplinary projects, former director of the Interdisciplinary Arts Department at the Arts Council England and member of artsactive.net), José Pérez de Lama (architect and associate professor at the School of Architecture, University of Seville) y Juan Mari Uzkudun (former MCC Director of Innovation). The companies themselves made the final decision, after studying the CVs and preliminary projects of the pre-selected artists.

Artists are requested to develop a prototype, procedure or idea based on a predefined framework by the participating host entity. All the details about the framework are in the competition rules.

Cecilia Andersson will help in the project monitoring within this edition. Besides, we organize methodology seminars with the help of artist consultant François Deck.
