Ralph Windle’s Blog on Science & The Arts

is about some big, interconnected issues:-

The long-running Arts / Science / Two cultures Debate. Why the old clichés have to STOP...

How Creative Synthesis - the bringing together of separated (Arts/Science?) modes of thought is now top-priority for Innovation...

The CVN Idea & Mission

The essence of the CVN idea and mission is to stimulate and help build more inclusive and interactive networks of individuals and groups – from across the conventional boundaries of ‘arts’, ‘sciences’, ‘engineering’ and ‘education’ – who are impatient for a more cross-disciplinary approach to creativity and the generation of ideas.

This also requires a fresh approach to inter-professional communication links and information technologies, to encourage the more open and inclusive associations and values on which knowledge-based innovation thrives. This will also require strategic and structural change in our professional representative bodies.

CVN also plans to provoke a greater public interest in these creative processes; and influence the wider debates on mutual understanding, cultural synergies and educational needs in our society.
