The Chair of Organizations and Territories of Arts, Culture and Creation
"Co-constructing an inclusive ecosystem of stakeholders in the field of artistic, cultural and creative activities to promote societal transitions

The OTACC Chair is a laboratory for thinking, experimenting and disseminating innovative management systems for artistic, cultural and creative projects.

It was born from the observation that artistic, cultural and creative projects are a response to many current societal issues (environmental transition, digital transition, fight against discrimination...).

These projects make it possible to experiment with democratic governance mechanisms. They are part of co-construction strategies allowing the emergence of spaces, practices and tools for inclusion. They generate innovation dynamics involving all actors and all sectors of activity.

The OTACC Chair aims to support cultural and creative, social and solidarity-based entrepreneurship. It accompanies the emergence and development of projects through participatory research: we start from your problems to seek solutions together (academics, professionals and students).
