Out of the Box: Creativity in Research

Part of the “Big Picture” event series of the Vienna International School of Earth and Space Sciences (VISESS), In cooperation with the Meteorological-Geophysical Colloquium at the University of Vienna

Vortrag


Abstract:

When conducting scientific research, there are many ways to go about it - but are there ways that can combine our academic interests with other passions or hobbies? What benefits can we gain from this as researchers? Can this also influence us on a more personal level? These are the questions that we look to answer in this event, as well as to encourage students (and even senior researchers) to think outside of the box, to explore more unconventional tools or methods to look at (and share) their work, and to bring even more joy into their research.

We will start with a video montage showing examples of how people from different fields and different places in the world achieve this. Then, our invited speakers, Matthew Pelowski and Ulrike Kuchner, will explore different aspects of creativity in research and its advantages, followed by a panel discussion. Finally, participants are welcome to join a workshop conducted by Daniela Brill Estrada, where they will be able to do a hands-on activity to think about and showcase their own research using mixed media (painting, poetry, clay sculpting). The works will be displayed at the Talks & Barbecue 2024 event of the Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy (FGGA).
