Innovator in the Spotlight

Towards a more inclusive society to raise awareness of basic skills gaps

In the Netherlands, 2.5 million people struggle daily with reading, writing, math, and digital skills, also called basic skills. These deficiencies make it difficult for them to fully participate in society, such as reading and understanding a letter or buying a train ticket, leading to various personal and societal problems.

Workshop: Embracing multiperspectivity

Centre for Unusual Collaborations (CUCo) aims to foster unusual collaborations based on its vision that next big innovations for societal impact are to be found through unusual collaborations in research. In this workshop CUCO digs into the world of collaboration while stepping into the artists mindset.

Date: Wednesday 13 September 2023
Time: 13:00 – 17:00
Location: Room 0.35, Building Disruptor, TU/e Campus

The workshop aims to connect to the self, the other and the world around us by means of art. By stepping out of your role as scientist, new options for collaborations are explored and alternative sources are opened for original ideas, originating from ‘foolish’ questions, alternative forms of research (art-based learning), speculative approaches, imagination and emotions. Handles will be provided to embrace the polyphony of visions and voices.
