In February 2025, 27 international programmers from IN SITU met in Prague to select emerging artists creating or willing to create with public spaces and unconventional venues. Following a European open call, out of 550 applications, 51 promising projects from 27 countries were selected. These European talents are supported through an online preparation and training programme and will be meeting IN SITU partners via 5 in-person immersive labs in France, Italy, Austria, and Denmark.
