Project entering a consolidation phase focused on legacy and impact (consolidation over expansion).

Touring Phase principles confirmed: each partner expected to host at least one artwork AND export at least one artwork; operational model – hosting partner covers logistics and local production, sending partner covers the artist fee; first informal negotiations started, interest from festivals such as KIKK.

Monitoring & Evaluation (WP6, Living): updated 2024-2026 evaluation strategy focused on qualitative impact; RAV interviews with artistic partners and 'critical friends' planned May 2026; collection of feedback on long-term impact of Local Debates.

Blueprint & Knowledge Framework (WP2, IED): blueprint to function as a digital toolkit integrated in the EU Artistic Digital Archive; partners to review/update materials on shared Drive following digitalisation guidelines; IED to circulate templates/best practices; dedicated Research Committee meeting to be scheduled April 2026.

Local Debates: shift from event-based engagement to long-term community relationships; University of Cluj interest in hosting/preserving artworks as project legacy.

Greening Guidelines implementation reinforced (balancing technology and sustainability, adapting to real festival conditions).
