Content
The campus consists of 7 sessions (18h30-21h30). The first 4 sessions are designed to immerse participants in a creative process, around challenges assigned to different teams, consisting of students with various profiles. From these experiments, each team is allowed to speculate on issues that could be crucial in the emergence of new concepts in Science. These assumptions are included in a conceptual map centered on the creative process of researchers.
The following two sessions consist of meetings with renowned researchers who explain their work and discuss the factors which contributed to their most significant discoveries or those of other scientists.
A lesson during the last meeting brings together the known elements that played a significant role in the emergence of important scientific and technological discoveries.
Participants will use all these information in order to analyze a particular creative event in a discipline of their choice.
