The Technical University of Crete (TUC) and the European University on Responsible Consumption and Production (EURECA-PRO) invite you to the inauguration of the installation entitled "EURECA-PRO Landmark" which will take place on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. in the outdoor area opposite the Library Building at TUC Campus. The inauguration will be preceded by presentations about the European University EURECA-PRO, in which the Technical University of Crete participates as a founding partner, and about the installation of the EURECA-PRO Landmark. Both presentations will take place at the Language Centre of the Technical University of Crete from 11:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.
The EURECA-PRO Landmark was curated by a group of students and scientific collaborators of the Laboratory of Transformable Intelligent Environments - TUC TIE Lab of the School of Architecture at the Technical University of Crete, more specifically Giorgos Artsidakis, Georgia Velli, Marios Ioannidis, Myrto Pagomenaki, Anna-Pagona Papidi and Ioanna Feidopiasti, under the supervision of Marianthi Liapi. The installation marks the successful completion of the first phase of the European University EURECA-PRO program and pays tribute to the alliance partners, as well as to the European Union's vision for the Universities of the Future, supported by the European Universities initiative.
The starting point of the team's design explorations was the classic type of poles with signs, which indicate the distances between different cities and destinations, as well as anamorphic art. Each of the 9 letters of the name “EURECA-PRO” is attributed to one of the 9 partner universities of EURECA-PRO and each letter is visually decomposed into three sections, which together spread out in space, playing with perspective.
The Laboratory of Transformable Intelligent Environments - TUC TIE Lab and the EURECA-PRO TUC team of the Technical University of Crete would like to thank the Directorate of Technical Services at TUC for its valuable contribution to the implementation of the project.
About EURECA-PRO
The European University EURECA-PRO was founded in 2020, inspired by the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron three years earlier. With a key focus on "Sustainable Consumption and Production", EURECA-PRO is dedicated to the 12th of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, the alliance EURECA-PRO of 9 universities brings people from all over Europe closer together. Joint study programmes are actively being developed to allow seamless student mobility between two or more EURECA-PRO universities to study abroad for complete semesters. The Technical University of Crete (TUC) is a founding member of EURECA-PRO. Learn more here:
