IMeRA - Arts, Sciences and Society fellowship

The residency program is open to scholars from all disciplines and to 
artists from all fields. At the intersection of art and science, it 
refers to the ways in which art and science together clarify, respond 
to, and anticipate societal challenges and activate audiences. Seeking 
to foster innovation and citizen participation, the program addresses 
the following core issues: sensory modes of knowledge creation by 
artists and scientists alike; multimodal forms of cultural transmission 
(such as hybridization between sound, text and image, exhibitions, etc); 
relational experiences and strategies of public engagement.
