Community Building

What kind of practices and resources do we need in order to develop a RESEARCH ARTS community? What gives us a sense of belonging? What values are important to us? How do we want to work? What expectations do we have? How can we develop a committed process for improving the resources of this community?

Community Building on this platform means experimenting with artistic and scientific practices that help forming a strong community.

Science Literacy

How can I learn to better understand the impact of scientific research on myself and my environment? Science Literacy promotes community participation in science with a focus on: 

a) knowledge (language skills, professional expertise),
b) action (learning skills, communication skills, social skills, procedural skills) and
c) evaluation (ethical and moral competence, aesthetic skills).

Capacity Building

What do we need to be able to learn more effectively from each other? How can we learn together? Capacity Building is used within the framework of the RESEARCH ARTS platform for civil participation and empowerment in science and science policy. The main aim is directed towards training in joint artistic and scientific methods.
These methods include transdisciplinary dialogues, social skills, political education, plus global and local cooperation.
