At EDGE we are driven by a passion for the convergence of creativity and knowledge, and we actively pursue these aims as an association through engaging and enriching workshops. These workshops serve as dynamic platforms that align with the three core principles of the EDGE e.V. association: the promotion of culture, the education of the public in scientific knowledge, and the professional development of artists, scientists, and students.

Check out the following sites for an overview of the workshops and symposia we hold.
Promotion of Culture:
The primary objective of these workshops is to foster and present science-related art to the public. By creating a space where artistic expression intersects with scientific themes, the community aims to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the intrinsic connections between culture, art, and science. Through exhibitions, performances, and collaborative projects, we endeavour to showcase the beauty and relevance of science-inspired art, contributing to the cultural enrichment of society.
Education of the Public in Scientific Knowledge:
In line with the second aim, the workshops are designed to promote the education of the public in scientific knowledge. However, what sets these workshops apart is the emphasis on creative means that incorporate cultural values and artistic methods. Through interactive sessions, hands-on activities, and immersive experiences, we seek to demystify complex scientific concepts, making them accessible and engaging for a broader audience. In essence, democratizing knowledge. By integrating cultural values and artistic approaches, the workshops aim to bridge the gap between science and the public, fostering a more profound understanding of the scientific world.
Professional Development:
The association places a strong emphasis on the professional development of artists, scientists, and students. Workshops serve as incubators for creative and artistic expression, providing a platform for participants to explore novel ways of communicating their research to the public.
In essence, our workshops are a testament to the EDGE’s commitment to fostering a dynamic synergy between art and science. They serve as catalysts for cultural enrichment, public education, and the continuous evolution of individuals at the intersection of these two disciplines. Through collaborative exploration and creative expression, we hope to inspire interdisciplinary understanding and appreciation!
