Overview
The RANN Summer School 2025 from Réseau Art Nouveau Network, part of the Creative Europe project Art Nouveau as a New EUtopia, combines lectures, expert-led visits to emblematic sites, and interdisciplinary dialogue to reflect on the relevance of Art Nouveau in addressing contemporary challenges. Participants will engage with leading architects, restorers, and researchers to reimagine architectural heritage as a catalyst for innovation and sustainability.

Framed within the Creative Europe-funded project Art Nouveau as a New EUtopia, the Summer School embraces the project’s central ambition: to explore how Art Nouveau, as a key European heritage style, can inspire new reflections on sustainability, the relationship between humans and nature, and the evolving role of cultural heritage in today’s society. Drawing on the rich legacy of Art Nouveau and building upon the achievements of past European and international initiatives, the Summer School invites participants to engage in a dynamic and interdisciplinary programme that reimagines this heritage movement in light of contemporary challenges.
