This seminar introduces participants to art-based research—an interdisciplinary approach that integrates artistic methods (visual arts, performance, storytelling, etc.) into academic inquiry. The session will cover:
- Key methodologies in art-based research
- How creative approaches can enhance research communication
- Practical examples from sciences and humanities
This workshop is ideal for those interested in non-traditional ways of engaging with research and exploring the intersection of science, education, and the arts.

We would like to have an informal afternoon with Fika (coffee and pastery) and Mingle after the Workshop!
