A discussion series produced by The Culture Capital Exchange and The British Academy

January 24 – Sciences
February 22 – Social Sciences
March 22 – Arts and Humanities

Much is talked about the importance of the creative process in the development of ideas and research, but how much do we actually know about what it entails? How do approaches to it differ across and within disciplines? What can academics working in different disciplines learn about the creative process from other fields? And how can the creative process best be nurtured?

Chaired by Professor John Sloboda at The British Academy each debate will bring together a high profile panel from the sciences, social sciences and arts and humanities respectively to contribute their perspectives on the theme.

Sciences, Tuesday 24 January 2012

Speakers include Professor Sir Paul Nurse, President of The Royal Society; Professor Nicky Clayton, Cambridge University and Scientist in Resident, Rambert Dance Company; Dr Alison Prendiville, London College of Communication, University of the Arts London.
