Workshop Day 

The workshop combines a presentation with an interactive role-playing exercise. The presentation explores embodied AI-XR (e.g., digital humans), ethics, and links to EU frameworks on digital competence and AI literacy, drawing on projects like XR4Human and ENCASE. In the second part, participants take on roles (e.g., innovator, professor, manager) to brainstorm in groups around sub-topics.

Workshop hosted by Lucas Stephane, PhD & Senior Scientist/ Institute for Energy Technology

Har du en sterk XR-idé, men er usikker på hvordan du får finansiert den?
Dette kurset gir deg innsikt i hvordan du spisser prosjektet ditt, finner riktig finansieringsløp og bygger et sterkt grunnlag for søknader.

Gjennom case-studien NøkkenVR – den første narrative XR-opplevelsen som fikk støtte fra NFI og flere regionale filmsentre – lærer du hvordan ulike strategier kan gi enten rask støtte eller langsiktig finansieringsløp.

Hovedtema:

• Hvordan utløse den kritiske første støtten

• Dominoeffekter i finansiering

• Ulike finansieringsløp – rekkefølge og strategi

• Optimalisering av vedleggsmateriale

• Hvordan støttegivere vurderer søknader skrevet med hjelp av AI

Kursholder:
Ellen Lande – prisbelønt regissør og utvikler av interaktive XR-opplevelser, filmer og spill. Hun er EU-ekspert med omfattende erfaring innen finansiering av narrative XR-prosjekter, og vinner av bl.a. Best Virtual Productions (VRINN Awards 2023), Silver Bear (Bilbao Short Film Festival) og Special Prize of the Jury (Drama International Film Festival).
