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 15^th 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.

Welcome to the EUTOPIA TRAIN Citizen Science Clinic!Link opens in a new window

The Clinics are an online workshop series specially designed to share challenges and ideas for your citizen science work. Each workshop first focuses on one person’s situation. The session is closely facilitated to ensure everyone has a chance to listen and share ideas in a non-judgemental space.
After exploring one person’s challenge, we zoom out to discuss the broader context and how we can all apply these findings to our work.
