The Cluj Cultural Centre (CCC) is a non-governmental organisation for culture and sustainable development, based in Cluj-Napoca (Romania). The Centre has 131 members (organisations and institutions, universities, associations in the business sector and civil society, and local and regional administrations) – over 60% percent of its members come from the independent sector. The CCC structure extends to 40 schools within the Cluj School Community, 12 rural municipalities within the Remarkable Romania community, 36 European cities in the Culture Next network and over 70 active international partners including prestigious universities, cultural organisations and leading institutions such as the World Health Organization and UNESCO.

Art and Science have been on the agenda of several programmes run by CCC in the last years – from activities in schools, training for teachers, residency programmes for collaboration between artists and scientists, international exhibitions and events featuring projects at the intersection of art, science, theory and experiment. Beyond these specific activities, art and science feed into several major strategic directions in our programme: contemporary art, cultural mediation and capacity building within the Academy of Change platform; STEAM education within the QUB area that brings together labs, workshops and maker space and spills over with our cultural and artistic education in schools.
