The FUNKEN Kollegs have developed individual projects that transcend academic disciplinary boundaries and address common issues. The conference brings together thought leaders and practitioners from the arts, science and entrepreneurship. In a dialogue between creative disciplines and technological innovation, pioneering ideas will be discussed and artistic-scientific research projects from Chemnitz will be presented.
The conference offers an exciting programme with keynote speeches, discussions and exhibitions that shed light on the interfaces between creative disciplines and technological innovation. Visitors will gain insights into the creative projects that have been developed as part of the FUNKEN Kolleg and can experience the highlights of this collaboration up close.
