>   “To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems
>   from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real
>   advances in science.” — Albert Einstein

> There must be more room for creativity and unconventional ideas in
> scientific research. Only through dealing creatively with research
> itself can we achieve results that could otherwise not be envisioned,
> and can science remain groundbreaking. Just as in the Dutch concept of
> autonomous artists, there should be free-thinking and creative
> scientists - autonomous scientists.
>
> This idea is central in the Media Technology MSc programme of Leiden
> University. In the masterclass this creative research concept is
> presented - with many examples - and is much room for discussion. Some
> examples and results of unconventional scientific research are  
> presented
> as installations in the exhibition.
