In this episode, Helga Aichmaier and Alexander Damianisch explain how arts-based research can be promoted and evaluated. They explain the added values and effectiveness of research that can make its processes and results tangible beyond the written culture of thought. As such, arts in evaluation and research exposes an “homage to the mysteries of our world,” with all our senses.
Trusting in one’s own practice, strengthening strengths, conveying strong narratives and interacting and being present in society are the recommendations given by the two scientists who want to conduct research using artistic means.
