2018 Idea League PHD Summer School: “Empowering Imagination”

Lecco, September 2-7, 2018

Coordinators: Simona Chiodo and Viola Schiaffonati (Politecnico di Milano)

The course aims at empowering imagination as one of the most promising tools we have at our disposal when we think of both how to act and interact and how to work on the objects we create in science, engineering, architecture and design. Thus, the course gives the PhD students some fundamental theoretical tools (in particular, on aesthetic imagination, moral imagination and scientific modelling) and especially the possibility of practicing imagination through exercises which aim at empowering their capacity of using it. For this purpose, Ester Bernadò (Barcelona), a certified coach with a strong background in education and research, mentors the students for the whole week. The theoretical lectures are given by Margherita Arcangeli (Berlin), Arnon Levy (Jerusalem) and Aaron Meskin (Leeds).
