Morning, Ariane, thanks for the info. Very interesting. Here's another example, this time the "dance your thesis" phenomena :) http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/10/dance-your-phd-and-the-winner-is.html I've also become intrigued with the cross-fertilization of arts, sciences and philosophy for management/leadership development. In the PhD program I run at IEDC-Bled School of Management I teach an elective on this where I bring together views from the arts, philosophy and complexity theories as they relate to organizational behavior, management and leadership.

Dear Per, and have you come across Science Slam in Denmark yet? I am interested in the science-arts nexus, the learning between the systems. And in this case I am also intrigued that the innovation appears to have started in Germany--where academics are not traditionally modelling lively and understandable communication of knowledge! So for the sciences to have imported such a concept from the arts is particularly revolutionary.
