  • 23, 24 May 2013: The Humanities & Humanistic Values in Society and Business

    Published on: April 14th, 2013

    A two-day seminar in Rome at The Royal Netherlands Institute and The Danish Academy.

    It is time to create economic and social capital through dialogue and synergy between society, business and the humanities – time to rethink, reform, re-engage and re-empower the humanities.
    The seminar aims at fostering a constructive and forward-looking debate about how humanists and business people can collaborate to unfold the human resources of the job market, add value and create responsible growth and innovation. We invite you to join the discussion with humanists, economists and successful managers (CSR, HR) from The Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, The United States, Great Britain, Switzerland and Japan
    addressing the challenges, opportunities and future of the Humanities.
    KEYNOTE SPEAKER is the prominent and ambitious British philosopher and
    art historian: JOHN ARMSTRONG.

  • Publication of strategic workshop report “The Good, the Bad & the Ugly”

    Published on: April 14th, 2013

    The substance of the presentations and discussions at the workshop ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Understanding collaboration between the social sciences and the life sciences’, hosted by Professor Nikolas Rose at King’s College, London, are captured in a Strategic Workshop Report, drafted by Des Fitzgerald and published in February 2013.

    The report highlights the need for some very pragmatic forms of institutional support if such experiments in interdisciplinarity are to flourish. But it also suggests that, if the right conditions are provided, we can begin to overcome the perceived divide between ‘the social’ and ‘the biological’ that has inhibited the emergence of a
    genuinely human science.

    The report concludes with a number of practical recommendations, addressed to researchers, research administrators, funders and policy makers, that would help enable and improve collaboration between social scientists and life scientists in the interests of reaching a deeper understanding of human and social phenomena.
