The JRC SciArt project actively investigates the overlapping fields where the arts and sciences operate, their similarities of method and commonalities of approach. The assumption is that after centuries of estrangement, both bodies of knowledge are converging again in a new constitution/constituent of knowledge, freed from the limits inflicted by arbitrary disciplinary codes. This is executed as a JRC project, linking art as well as science to policymaking and hence, to society. Every two years, scientists, artists and policymakers meet, explore, dialogue, find out, and, sometimes, disagree.
