You are invited to our Thinking Café! A place for discussion of research topics floating in the enormous space in between disciplines. Because our ideas shouldn’t just stay inside our head, they are created through feedback with other research, with each other, with the practical world. For now, the concept of the Thinking Café is to first have a small introduction of the topic, after which we discuss in small groups, to then put our insights together. Provide some food and drinks for yourself to get in the café mood! But this concept might change through experimentation, and you can form it! You can also propose topics and vote on already proposed ones via : http://bit.ly/InputReaActafé <https://bit.ly/InputReaActaf%C3%A9>
*Time:* Thursday May 21, we start at 19h (and we're open from 18h30 on) *Place*: on-line at https://meet.jit.si/thinkingcafcleakaart *Topic:* What kind of world would you like to see? We'll explore this huge question today, and see whether we could imagine a world we would all be happy living in. This topic encompasses several of the topics proposed in the google form. How would the political, the economical, the social and the technological sphere look like? Would the city be a living organism? Would it be smart city? Would there be social interaction between human and artificial beings? What does artificial intelligence mean? Would there emerge a 'noosphere'? And we'll also automatically come to the question which futures are possible, thus about foresight. Of course, we will not be able to discuss all these aspects in depth. If we are many, we can split into several groups that all take one topic. And we can decide to turn aspects into a topic for a future Thinking Café! There's also a facebook event <https://www.facebook.com/events/654740868636909/> -- Evo ECCO Group (VUB) <http://ecco.vub.ac.be/?q=node/1> Email: [email protected] Website: https://cadelllast.com
