Curiosity in Times of Disruption

"By being curious, we give ourselves permission to be disrupted and to be open to something new. The moment we move from wondering to acting we start to become creative."
- Ashcroft, P., Brown, S., Jones, G. The Curious Advantage (2020)

Shaping Our Future

Thriving in Uncertain Times

State of The Art

Goal

Participants will help identify the frontiers of knowledge informed by neuroscience, behaviourism, art, anthropology, business, economics, information technology, history, and the humanities.

Format

Two hours of panel and group discussions in a state-of-the-art platform where participants will examine the latest advances of curiosity with a focus in particular on the practical applications of the knowledge.

We will also identify key themes and questions for further exploration through the think tank and identify mechanisms for promoting their application in society.

The Curiosity Forum will publish a summary of the key discussions for dissemination.
