Imaginary Institute

The Imaginary Institute doesn’t exist. Yet.

We invite collaborators from all disciplines to join us in creating a free-thinking laboratory for transdisciplinary research and collaboration. The core theme of collective transdisciplinary imagination will be explored through play and the systems’ perspective, together with the arts, sciences and other collective practices.

The project is initiated by the ArtScience Department and Systems At Play at the Center Leo Apostel for Transdisciplinary Studies (CLEA) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), in collaboration with Science of Singularities, (plus other partners to be confirmed*).

This pilot project will run over 8 months, from November 2024 to June 2025, with a series of 2-day in-person symposiums held each month in Brussels, culminating in a final public symposium or festival in Summer 2025 (location to be determined).
 

Please note: This is an ‘open’ open-call. This means that the open call is still open to feedback, suggestions, revisions and additions, before it officially opens. We do this to make the process more open-ended and inclusive of potential partners and collaborators.
