FestiVersities is a multi-sited research project funded by the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) Joint Research programme under the Horizon 2020 scheme Public Spaces: Culture and Integration in Europe (2019-2022). The project critically interrogates the relationship between culture, public space and social integration in music festivals in five European countries.
After three and a half years of research, overlapping with the pandemic, the project is drawing to a close in November 2022.
