RADAR is a new project involving six cities in six European countries. The project aims at working through contemporary arts towards higher social integration within European cities closer links between such cities.

This project is born out of co-operation amongst private and public institutions in Venice, Cracow, Plovdiv, Athens, Weimar, Lewisham, one of the boroughs of Greater London.

It is supported by the European Commission, Directorate General Education and Culture through a grant awarded in the context of the Culture 2000 programme. Such programme focused in 2001 on contemporary visual arts as a means of fostering higher social and European integration and of reaching the overall goals of the European Union.

The program started in October 2002 and is planned to last until the end of 2004.
