'Creativity at the Heart’ on Wed 15th March at 3pm (Occulus) is the first session in our new CO-LAB series.
You may have noticed the increasing overlaps between the creative arts and so-called STEM subject in recent years. Initially, this often took the form of the sciences using the arts to communicate their messages and broaden their appeal – think Brian Cox using Doctor Who to talk about space-time. In recent times this has shifted. Much more attention is being given to the deeper ways in which creative, artistic work is helping to drive new research questions and methods in the sciences – across the board. Think of the immersive ‘Voyage to the Edge of Imagination’ exhibition at the Science Museum in London, which shows how sci fi culture has helped us envisage new possibilities and actually shaped scientific progress in all kinds of ways. It’s this we want to dive into on 15th March. We have a great line up of speakers already, including Warwick researchers, artists and creatives, freelancers from the cultural sector leaders. So, if this interests you, put the date in your diary and sign up via the link for CO-LAB 1.0.
CO-LAB is a new flexible sharing forum in which Warwick colleagues of all levels can showcase, pitch, network and learn about the collaborative work that is being done in research, teaching and learning, and elsewhere across the university. Find out more here, including how we can help you to run your own CO-LAB
