About Creativity in Research Cluster

We are a group of SWWDTP funded PhD students working across multiple disciplines, exploring all forms of creativity in academic research. We are particularly interested in examining the following questions:

​

How can creativity be used to develop original ideas or to enhance critical thinking? 

How can creativity be analysed and studied? 

How can creativity be encouraged and integrated into research and society?

​

We believe that practice-based and creative research methodologies, as fairly new branches in academia, still need to unleash their potential and shape the research landscape. For this reason, the Creativity in Research cluster encourages the dialogue between practice-based projects and more traditional research: the objective is to provide people with tools to look at problems and questions from more nuanced angles and perspectives. 

​

We look for, discuss, and promote approaches and methodologies that can be borrowed from creative practices and the arts, and be applied to other fields and forms of research.
