Former visiting scientist for JRC SciArt, and currently Postdoctoral Researcher at the Postgrowth Innovation Lab (ERC) at the University of Vigo, Dr. Sofia Greaves, will participate to the S+T+ARTS Symposium in Barcelona, 28-30 October 2024.
Dr. Greaves will be speaking about the potential for SciArt projects to influence postgrowth policymaking, exploring the opportunities to discuss and shape the future of Sci-Art hybrid research within EU policymaking and research practices.
She will take part on the panel "Confronting Values and Measures in Projects and Policies" on Tuesday 29th October at 15:30 PM, discussing the evaluation, impacts and mapping of SciArt projects, with Michele Coletti, artist Adrien Lucca, artist-researcher Mona Hedayati, Teresa Sanchis (SciArt, Inst. Bioengineering, Catalonia), and T6 Ecosystems. Her particular emphasis will be on the need to revise knowledge valorisation innovation frameworks by moving away from economic objectives and metrics. She will also present part of the research conducted at the JRC, as visiting scientist for JRC SciArt.

Over the past seven decades, the discourse on the dialogues and intersections between the arts and sciences has undergone a profound transformation since the inception of the “two cultures” debate. Today, numerous publications, institutions, organisations, academic associations, and funding programmes, such as S+T+ARTS in the European context, testify to the burgeoning emphasis on transdisciplinarity. However, amidst this progress, persistent questions and concerns remain, particularly with regard to the dissemination and impact assessment of projects within these transdisciplinary fields. A key challenge is to develop effective methods for observing, monitoring, evaluating, and identifying key variables illuminating project findings and respecting their inherent complexity.
This symposium addresses these needs by convening an international dialogue that spans academic discourse and practical applications. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, we aim to explore new strategies for accurately addressing, monitoring, and measuring the multiple impacts of projects situated at the intersection of the arts, technologies, and sciences, within the global challenges of contemporary society.
