Entangling knowledge fields

Artificial Biology, Robotics and Art (ABRA) is about creating knowledge across artificialbiology, robotics, art and design for enhanced sustainability.

The project cultivates transdisciplinary knowledge and capacity building in higher education.Through hands-on workshops and training, educators and learners work on tackling the skills gapsand mismatches within our disciplines while addressing the climate goals. In this entanglement,new questions, new ideas, new solutions are generated.

Artificial biology, robotics & art

Through transdisciplinary teaching and training, ABRA facilitates the exchange of sustainablebest practices that foster creativity and innovation while developing a shared language thatprepares students and teachers to tackle complex problems and solutions relevant in thetwenty-first century.

ABRA’s Objectives

‣ create new pathways for art + science + engineering-driven creativity and innovation forincreased sustainability

‣ tackle skills gaps and mismatches in higher education & research by promotingtransdisciplinary knowledge exchange

‣ address environmental issues and climate change by establishing an ongoing, multi-sectordialogue about concrete sustainable actions

‣ empower students & researchers to develop new processes, technologies, and methods of applyingexisting technology towards sustainable solutions.

ABRA: Team

‣ Aalborg University’s (AAU) Research Laboratory for Art and Technology(RELATE) and Human-RobotInteraction Lab focus on human-centered approaches and solutions for robots acrossindustry,health and the arts.

‣ The Department CIBIO at University of Trento (CIBIO)integratesclassical cellular andmolecular biology approaches with the new powerful tools of systems and synthetic biology.

‣ Aalto University (AALTO) Art Department offers students accesstoemerging knowledge andpractices at the intersection of multiple fields through an arts-driven engagement withsocietal,political, ecological and philosophical concerns and artistic approaches toart-science-technology practices.

‣ The Institute of Advanced Design Studies (ADES) is anon-profitindependent school of designfor sustainability hosting a uniquely built transdisciplinary postgraduate study programme. Webridge science and technology with the needs in society and environment through design. ADESworks with a wide range of international experts in researching and teaching new methods indesign for sustainability.
