We host interdisciplinary workshops with different topics of science (synthetic biology, biomaterials etc.) and different methods of design(design fiction, design thinking etc.).

Each of our events is unique, as it is driven and co-directed with the participants. At the same time, we keep some common principles:

• Horizontality: Our workshops are co-organized by the participants and the mentors together.
• Diversity: We encourage diversity of background, gender, age among the participants to achieve a rich environment.
• Interdisciplinarity: Our workshops use methodologies, lectures and knowledge that belong to several disciplines.

Manifesto

We believe that science and arts are both creative fields of study. Our workshop is a place where artists, designers, and scientists meet to initiate collaboration. We aggregate designers to learn science. We encourage scientists to value and learn artistic approach and design thinking. We bring artists, designers, and scientists together to explore the possibilities of scientific design and designing science.

Interdisciplinarity is a tool to solve complex problems that are beyond the reach of any discipline alone. To be able to do this, many soft-skills need to be developed. However, we believe that they are central to face the challenges of this new world: conceptualization, inter-cultural communication, project-based learning, adaptation, and willingness to learn.

We also believe that 1 + 1 is not equals 2, but sums much more. Being able to exchange knowledge is the most valuable tool that a community can have. Being able to use the skills that we have learned from our field in another discipline makes us valuable.
