Cross-disciplinary Summer Course on Originality in Science - Personal Perspectives and Collaborative Strategies

This PhD course aims at providing a space for reflection about originality in scientific research. Scientific thinking is complex and it involves, at least, creative thinking and critical thinking – at the same time. Academics have a tendency to train the critical thinking more than creative thinking, so in this course we will both question and reflect upon originality in science as well as foster creative thinking by sharing perspectives and techniques and considering theories, cases, discussions, inspirations and collaborations.
