ISWA: Immersion in the Science Worlds through Arts

Share this project

ISWA presents science as a creative and emotional endeavour and strengthens links between science and arts.

The objective of the project is to engage young people in science through arts and arts competitions. The consortium includes several scientists, artists, art critics, film directors, actors, musicians and specialists in science communication. 

ISWA presents artworks based on scientific phenomena created jointly by researchers and artists and encourages students and young people to create their own artworks by organising students competitions. Five artistic areas have been selected:

Modern dance

Cinema (Video)

Contemporary art

Visual arts (imaging)

Literature

The ISWA competitions aim to stimulate curiosity and engagement in science by young people in Europe. The underlying idea is to show that scientific ideas may originate from creative and emotional processes commonly attributed to arts.

It is open to young people between the ages of 14–20 EU, FP7 associated countries and Russia. They can participate individually or collectively as school classes. All contributions should be inspired by science or by an encounter with scientists. Aim and regulation of competition are published on the ISWA website 

The winners in each category will be invited to the final event of the ISWA project in February 2013 in Grenoble and awarded with prizes worth EUR 1000.
