The Experience Design Group (EDG) and the Center for Molecular Medicine (CMM) at Karolinska Institutet presented the results of their collaboration “Innovative Thinking: Science meets Art” at Stockholmsmötet 2011. Stockholmsmötet 2011, held in Stockholm’s City Hall on 30th May, brought together for the eighth consecutive year politicians, business leaders, and representatives from culture and Stockholm’s universities. This year’s theme was “Together for a more innovative Stockholm”. The EDG and CMM presentation had the form of a Pecha Kucha inserted in the panel “Future Innovation and Tomorrow’s Nobel Prize Winners” together with Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship (SSES). The collaboration between EDG and CMM started in November 2010 and sought to identify and apply interdisciplinary methods between science and art to address scientific questions in the field of medicine. This work resulted in several joint applications to the Grand Challenges grant program from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
