IMPULSE-Focus Event Series 2026/2027: Imagination/Memory

About IMPULSE-Focus

The IMPULSE-Focus program consists of a series of events that combine two closely interrelated elements:

     • Public talks and discussions with high-profile scientists, academics, artists, and intellectual figures, open to a broad audience.

    • Transdisciplinary explorations and experimental workshops with our guests at IMPULSE in the day(s) following the public event.

In 2026 and 2027, IMPULSE-Focus centers on the theme Imagination/Memory, approaching it from diverse disciplinary perspectives and through explicitly transdisciplinary methodologies. The human imagination and its relationship to memory constitute a cutting-edge topic in contemporary research across the neurosciences, psychology, philosophy, the humanities, and the arts. By bringing together scientific inquiry, artistic practice, and philosophical reflection, IMPULSE-Focus seeks to open up new ways of understanding imagination and memory as dynamic, relational, and socially embedded processes.
