ScienceFUTURE - a creative collaboration info meeting

Informal lunch seminar about ScienceFUTURE, a new creative collaboration that brings scientists, artists, and young people together to imagine the future through stories about X, a woman born in 2045.

Open for all, from students to senior scientists, who would like to communicate their research in a creative and a bit unconvential way.

ScienceFUTURE is a prototype for a new type of outreach and media production targeted at audiences within specific communities as well as the broader public.

The prototype is produced by Ice-9, a new Tromsø-based media company, which is developing new digital tools and an online platform to help stimulate dialogue on important public issues, starting with energy production and the Arctic.

At the moment we need the cooperation of scientists starting this spring, to test out the app/software (Xquisite) we are developing and contribute with a story element about the future life of this woman X. This should take no more than 10 minutes. We also hope a few researchers (at any level, including Masters students) can engage online or live with kids and artists. We are also looking for institutional partners interested in developing the prototype further through joint funding applications.

Join the info meeting given by Christine Cynn and Anneli Stiberg to find out more!

You are welcome to bring your lunch. We will provide coffee and tea.
