Intending to increase the visibility of EELISA in spaces beyond the academic field and reinforce the dissemination of EELISA’s mission-related topics such as innovation and sustainability in the public sphere, EELISA has joined forces with the Film Festival on Sustainable Development of Madrid (Another Way Film Festival) that takes places in the city of Madrid every October since 2014. This hybrid event has become a benchmark for other initiatives worldwide that aim to combine documentary film with outreach and public awareness.
Since 2022, an EELISA Jury has awarded an “EELISA Special mention” to the film that promotes topics connected to EELISA’s mission such as sustainability, impactful entrepreneurship, and ethics & technology; and offers a special view on gender and inclusiveness, cooperation and the creation of bridges between STEM and humanities & arts.
The winning film is given the opportunity to hold an event at up to two EELISA campuses—located in Pisa, Paris, Madrid, Istanbul, Budapest, Bucharest, Zurich, or Erlangen—with a special screening and Q&A session primarily intended for EELISA students, faculty, staff, and researchers, but potentially open to the general public.
