Babette Werner at »Art-Science-Collaborations: Establishing a Research Agenda«

Cluster Member Babette Werner is be part of the participatory forum »Art-Science-Collaborations: establishing a research agenda« on October 6th, 2023 from 1.00 pm to October 7th, 2023 5.00 pm, held at ZKM – Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe. The event includes workshops, panels, and networking sessions and is expecting around 35 people from the fields of Art-Science and research policy.

The forum aims to develop a research agenda for the field of Art-Science studies, with a particular focus on research that would explore the effects of such collaborations. We hope, through the process of the workshops, to create a co-authored policy brief or paper that will shape the direction of research in this area and which might be suitable for publication or form part of a call for a special issue on this area.

The schedule includes 5 sessions on the following topics:

Session 1: Collaboration – an interactive workshop exploring what collaboration means, the role of mediators/curators and factors that are key to successful collaborations.

Session2: Funding – a panel discussion examining the roles that funders could play in shaping a research agenda focused on Art-Science collaborations.

Session 3: Theory and Method – this workshop will explore the different approaches taken to study Art-Science projects and their relationship with the growing interest in transdisciplinarity.

Session 4: Impacts – this workshop seeks to uncover the potential impacts that such collaborations may have on participants and more broadly on the fields of art and science.

Session 5: Agenda Building – the final workshop seeks to draw together thinking from the preceding workshops to build a research agenda that would explore the effects of Art-Science collaborations. This workshop will also seek to define outputs and ways forward in promoting such an agenda.
