Acceptance of the awarded grants entails establishing a work and partnership framework between successful creators and the Ajuntament de Terrassa, via the Servei de Joventut (Youth Service) that manages BaumannLab.

This partnership framework consists of:

• Backing/training as part of the grantholder’s working process based on joint support interventions with the other grant-holding projects and monitoring from the BaumannLab management team.
• Taking part in strategies and activities of dissemination to advertise the working processes of the grant-holding or resident projects through the internet, exchange spaces with other artists, etc.
• Dissemination of the ensuing project within the framework of BaumannLab’s outreach activities and/or develop other complementary activities jointly with the management team in relation to potential users of this arts entity.

* All selected projects will have an opportunity to access BaumannLab’s resources (workshops, Medialab, technological equipment, etc.) and the Youth Service and children’s activities (Lleure infantil), as well as its work network with youth and young person’s organisations in Terrassa.

For guidance in how to be awarded a BaumannLab grant, the following assessment criteria have been established:

• Relation of the proposal to the aim or initiatives of bringing arts practices to young people, of enhancing their critical attitudes and/or lending support to the professionalization of young creators.
• Interaction of the project with the region, exploration of new ways of connecting arts practice, youth dynamics and the social context and/or development of arts projects in education contexts.
• Experimentation with new ways of using language and forms of expression and communication, or new methodologies and processes of work or innovation in bringing together technology and art.
• Artist or cultural agent’s link with the city.
• Proposals’ potential for establishing relationships with other resident artists or with processes or interventions promoted by BaumannLab and/or by another work avenue of the Servei de Joventut.
• Solidity and coherence of the submitted proposal.
• Clarity in the presentation of documents and the required information.
• Suitability of the proposal to the resources and services that BaumannLab will make available for its viable reception.
• Other specific aspects of value in each modality (Consult the details of the rules of each category)
