Art x Science School for Transformation OPENING EVENT. Presentation of the Art x Science School for Transformation, exciting talks and get-together with food & drinks.
As a transformative force, creativity plays a pivotal role in driving artistic and scholarly discoveries forward. If we aim to address and tackle the complex nature of current transformation processes, we need to combine different perspectives, new creative approaches, and unconventional solutions. When it comes to solving problems, there is no single approach.
The new Art x Science School for Transformation, a joint undertaking between the JKU and the University of Applied Arts Vienna, seeks to explore this very space that allows art and science to merge and where students and faculty can explore unconventional approaches, transdisciplinary research, creating a space where innovative, forward-looking education can flourish.
You are cordially invited to attend our launch ceremony at the Open Innovation Center on October 17, 2024, beginning at 5:00 PM.
We look forward to welcoming bestselling author Ulrike Herrmann to our launch ceremony! As part of her keynote speech, she will outline the new university concept and social design options. Afterwards, along with other guests, inclluding higher education expert Channa Van der Brug, we will talk about how we can build bridges to connect social transformation, transdisciplinary education, and artistic and scientific perspectives. Georg Hubmann, director of the Art x Science School for Transformation in Linz, will chair the discussion.
The event will be held in English.
