Brussels Creative Meeting for Woman and Innovation at BOZAR LAB in September 2017<br />
reflect, talk and exchange along with a visit and presentation<br />
of the freshly opened BOZAR LAB and a tour through the<br />
exhibition TENDENCIES, which aims to place emphasis<br />
on works which question scientific and technological<br />
innovations as much as they incorporate them. It wants<br />
to open up the field of reflection relating to these links<br />
and highlight structural analogies between the creators<br />
of distinct and complementary fields. For this second<br />
edition, it unveils and promotes the work of six emerging or<br />
established female artists who probe innovative protocols<br />
and paradigms in the domains of artistic, scientific and<br />
technological creation.<br />
focusing on transdisciplinarity and innovation at the<br />
nexus of Science, Technology, and the ARTS. STARTS<br />
unites renowned art & research institutions and innovative<br />
industries to jointly work on innovative projects where<br />
artists, scientists and engineers work together on radically<br />
different solutions.<br />
THE FOLLOWING INTERVIEW WITH EVA<br />
A. KAILI, MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN<br />
PARLIAMENT, HIGHLIGHTS THE ASPECT OF<br />
WOMEN AND INNOVATION IN EUROPEAN<br />
POLITICS.<br />
Through a program of lectures, debates and workshops the<br />
BOZAR LAB would like to stimulate more interactions<br />
between artists, policy makers, researchers and citizens.<br />
This must lead to new visions & ideas for the future and<br />
critical approaches on contemporary scientific, societal<br />
and cultural developments. This program — in close<br />
collaboration with BOZAR AGORA — will involve many<br />
universities and research departments in Belgium and<br />
abroad.<br />
The European Union has recognized the urgency of finding<br />
hybrid solutions with the launch of the STARTS Program<br />

Who are you and what are your core values on<br />
which your personality is built?<br />
The core values, which are guiding my choices as a person<br />
and as a politician, have been truth & speaking out, creativity<br />
(even a bit out of the box) and empathy (caring). Curiosity<br />
about what truth is, being creative in what I am doing and<br />
feeling empathetic towards people, have been my driving<br />
forces to enter politics since I was a teenager. Heraclitus<br />
