MIC Conference 2021 Program

Blended Edition

September 8 - September 10, 2021

Welcome to the MIC Conference 2021!

Dear Friends,

A warm welcome to our annual event dedicated to the most recent advances in creativity studies, which comes at a special time in special conditions!

In fact, 2021 marks the 10th anniversary of foundation of the Marconi Institute for Creativity, and therefore this edition holds particular significance for all of us at MIC, and we thank you all for joining our celebration!

The event is co-organized with ISSCI, the International Society for the Study of Creativity and Innovation, and this fruitful collaboration is a key to ensure the highest level of international partnership.

In this edition, we have the pleasure to enjoy two further collaborations at international level, which serve to make the conference program ever more interesting. The Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity, SfNC, has played an important role in forming the scientific program and will be leading a symposium and a panel on the closing day of the MIC Conference.

In addition, the Possibility Studies Network, PSN, will offer a symposium within which the new discipline of possibility studies will be officially launched!

All this only serves to add interest to a very rich Conference Program, with Invited Speeches from renown experts, Symposia on hot topics, timely Presentations and Posters of the latest results obtained by our thriving scientific community!

The world is still fighting against the sanitary emergency, and this means that our family of participants will be split between those that will attend online and those who will be able to come to Villa Griffone, the home of Guglielmo Marconi where wireless communications were invented in 1895. We owe thanks to the Fondazione Guglielmo Marconi for hosting the event, and to Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna for its continued support.

We look forward to meeting you all at the MIC Conference 2021!
