The ULYSSES Platform proposes a series of online seminars directed to young artists, focussing on specific topics related to the development of their international career.  For each meeting, one or more invited speakers shortly presents a specific topic. The floor is then opened to give the participants the occasion to discuss this topic together, to address questions and share their personal experiences. At the end of each meeting, an “Open Space” moment allows some of the participants to present their own projects and to exchange with their fellow artists.
