The rapidly developing relationship between tourism and creativity, arguably heralds a 'creative turn' in tourism studies. Creativity has been employed to transform traditional cultural tourism, shifting from tangible heritage towards more intangible culture and greater involvement with the everyday life of the destination. The emergence of 'creative tourism' reflects the growing integration between tourism and different placemaking strategies, including promotion of the creative industries, creative cities and the 'creative class'. Creative tourism is also arguably an escape route from the serial reproduction of mass cultural tourism, offering more flexible and authentic experiences which can be co-created between host and tourist. However the gathering critique also highlights the potential dangers of creative hype and commodification of everyday life.

In the context of the designers responsibility for the impact of technology, ethical considerations are important. However, these considerations are often seen as limiting innovation and the freedom of the designer. Is it possible, on the contrary, that ethics can also foster creativity in design? The research project Tech-Wise is about a practice oriented approach in ethics; developing tools to engage people with ethical deliberation on the impact of technology. One result of the project is a workshop format for stimulating ethical deliberation that can be tailored to particular technologies and design disciplines. We argue from the results of one particular instance of this workshop format that such an approach to ethics has a fruitful reciprocal effect. It can stimulate creativity in design by enriching the question about the purpose of an innovation, and the other way around enrich ethical reasoning by opening up to often surprising impacts of technologies.

In recent years, ArtEZ has worked on a broadly supported strategic research agenda on the themes New Ecologies of Matter (ecological challenges), Social Equity (social-societal issues), (Un)Learning Practices (educational innovations) and (Non)CybernEtic Fabric (technological developments). Building on these strategic themes, the ArtEZ Research Collective as developed an international research strategy to become a valuable partner in the relevant Horizon Europe (HEU) areas of Environment, Industry and Social science and humanities. With its specific knowledge position and approach from arts and creativity, ArtEZ is convinced that it can play a distinctive role in European consortia to tackle various challenges in these areas, in particular from the perspective and research topics of the professorships Fashion and Tactical Design. To achieve its ambitions and goals in its targeted research topics, ArtEZ is convinced that a combination of international connections and local applications is key for successful impact. Building upon existing relations and extending the international research position requires extra efforts, e.g., by developing a strong international framework of state-of-the-art research results, impacts and ambitions. Therefore ArtEZ needs to (further) build on both its international network and its supportive infrastructure. With this proposal ArtEZ is presenting its goals and efforts to work on its international recognition as a valuable research partner, and to broaden its international network in cutting-edge research and other stakeholders. With regards to its supporting infrastructure, ArtEZ has the ambition to expand the impact of the Subsidy Desk to become a professional partner to the professorships. This approach requires a further professionalization and extension of both the Subsidy Desk organization and its services, and developing and complementing skills, expertise and competences to comply to the European requirements.
Within the film and theater world, special effects make-up is used to adapt the appearance of actors for visual storytelling. Currently the creation of special effects makeup is a time-consuming process which creates a lot of waste that doesn’t fit in with the goals of a sustainable industry. Combine with the trend of the digitization of the movie and theater industry which require faster and more iterative workflows, the current ways of creating special effects makeup requires changing. Within this project we would like to explore if the traditional way of working can be converted to a digital production process. Our research consists of three parts. Firstly, we would like to explore if a mobile face scanning rig can be used to create digital copies of actors, and such eliminate the need to creates molds. Secondly, we would like to see if digital sculpting can replace the traditional methods of sculpting molds, casts and prosthetics. Here we would like to compare both methods in terms of creativity and time consumption. The third part of our project will be to explore the use of 3D printing for the creation of molds and prosthetics.
Creativiteit wordt in de wetenschappelijke literatuur vaak gedefinieerd als creatief denken, als iets dat zich enkel in het hoofd afspeelt, zonder daarin de rol van het lichaam en de omgeving mee te nemen. Dit onderzoek heeft als doel om een overzicht te geven van beschikbare wetenschappelijke literatuur over creatief denken van leerlingen op de basisschool. Daarnaast brengt het manieren in kaart waarmee leerkrachten creatief denken kunnen bevorderen in verschillende schoolvakken en in vakoverstijgend onderwijs.Creativiteit wordt in de wetenschappelijke literatuur vaak gedefinieerd als creatief denken, als iets dat zich enkel in het hoofd afspeelt. zonder daarin de rol van het lichaam en de omgeving mee te nemen. Door deze eenzijdige definitie van creatief denken te hanteren, blijven kansen onbenut om in verschillende vakken op de basisschool het creatief denken van leerlingen te bevorderen. In deze overzichtsstudie, gefinancierd door Nationaal Regieorgaan Onderwijsonderzoek (NRO), gaan onderzoekers van de Hanzehogeschool uit van een brede opvatting van creativiteit, waarin naast het denken ook het lichaam en de omgeving worden betrokken.Onderzoekers van onderzoeksgroep Kunsteducatie en lectoraat Jeugd, Educatie & Samenleving creëren een raamwerk waarin de verschillende aspecten van creatief denken worden belicht. Op basis van deze brede definitie worden manieren in kaart gebracht waarop leraren creatief denken kunnen bevorderen in verschillende schoolvakken en in vakoverstijgend onderwijs op de basisschool.In veel definities van creativiteit wordt creatief denken beschouwd als iets dat zich enkel in het hoofd afspeelt, zonder dat de rol van het lichaam en de omgeving wordt meegenomen. Door de multidimensionaliteit van creatief denken te negeren blijven kansen liggen om in verschillende vakken op de basisschool het creatief denken van leerlingen te bevorderen. In deze overzichtsstudie gaan we uit van een brede opvatting van ‘denken’ waarin ook het lichaam en de omhgeving worden betrokken. We creëren een raamwerk waarin de verschillende aspecten van creatief denken worden belicht en op basis waarvan manieren worden geïdentificeerd hoe leerkrachten creatief denken kunnen bevorderen in verschillende schoolvakken op de basisschool.
