\nCALL FOR SUBMISSIONS – DUE NOVEMBER 15<\/div>\n
\nNorth American graduate students enrolled in masters and doctoral programs across all disciplines are invited to apply to participate in\u00a0the Monday, March 12 Student Fellows Symposium and attend the Sackler Colloquium which follows on March 13-14, (please note that\u00a0the selected students are expected to attend all three days of events).\u00a0 Approximately 50 graduate students will be selected to participate\u00a0in a series of 15-minute and 6-minute talks and a creative exhibition\/poster session that will take place during the Student Fellows\u00a0Symposium.<\/p>\n

The deadline is\u00a0November 15\u00a0to apply, and Fellows will receive travel support, including registration for the full symposium, which has\u00a0many prominent speakers:

Overview:
\nScientists thinking like artists\u2014artists thinking like scientists. When these traditionally defined roles mix together, how is the process of\u00a0making work or conducting research altered? Does the play between disciplines benefit a designer\u2019s practice, an engineer\u2019s output, or a\u00a0scientist\u2019s data? What are the hazards and opportunities?<\/p>\n

There is power in looking past the sometimes narrow confines of one discipline: possibilities emerge, allowing\u00a0artists\/designers\/engineers\/scientists to ask different questions and create innovations. However, this is difficult work. Navigating\u00a0uncharted territory compounds the uncertainty and potential for missteps that are already a part of the creative, scientific, and\u00a0engineering process. Emerging areas of research require academics and practitioners to occupy varied and hybrid roles, and to begin\u00a0investigations within unmapped spaces of inquiry. How can we build stronger bridges that connect innovations in art and design to those\u00a0in science and engineering?<\/p>\n

This symposium will bring creative and scientific realms together, creating opportunities for thinkers to play within different spaces of\u00a0inquiry to ask questions about the ways we embark upon this kind of research, to relay techniques and guidelines that have worked in\u00a0the past, and to explore how we can better support each other in our endeavors. This one-day gathering will give attendees the chance\u00a0to connect with each other, to create a network of like-minded thinkers, and to share stories of struggle and success. The\u00a0understandings developed during the Student Fellows Symposium can contribute to the discussions during the March 13-14 Sackler\u00a0Colloquium.<\/p>\n
