Stockholm Explorative Talks challenged borders

What happens to a scientific conversation when imagination helps a researcher to change perspective? This was something that was investigated during the Stockholm Explorative Talks, which was organized on October 4th by Stockholm Academic Forum and Nobel Center in collaboration. The event was part of Nobel Calling 2018.

Moira von Wright and Micael Dahlen had been appointed as curators, when Stockholm Explorative Talks were arranged for the very first time. They led the conversation, but with the extended task of actually staging it, challenge academic borders, and explore where meetings between scholars from different disciplines can reach with unconventional methods.

The Team that participated consisted of Robin Teigland, Stockholm School of Economics, Mark Rhinard, Stockholm University, Loulou Cherinet, Konstfack – University of Arts, Crafts and Design, Walter Osika, Karolinska Institutet, Sanna Nordin-Bates, The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences – GIH, and Gustav Borgefalk, Royal College of Art, London.

The Audience at Royal College of Music in Stockholm, consisted of 100 scholars from 15 of Stockholm’s 18 universities, juniors as well as seniors, and from the full range of disciplines that characterize the university city of Stockholm.
