Participation and Activities

The workshop will be held on Microsoft Teams and participants will be involved in at least 2 hours per day of academic and social activities. Participants will be invited to prepare a poster or other visual presentation of ideas (mind maps and interactive presentations are welcome) that, together with a brief video or an audio (under 5 minutes) will be uploaded on this website and will be used as a topic of discussion in the poster sessions Q&A.  

​

Some of the questions we would like to explore include:

• Can we train for chance encounters/ events/ discoveries?

• Is chance an emergent property of particular, and sometimes intersubjective, circumstances? 

• What does make an agent shift from a situation of ignorance to one of discovery or insight?

• When and from what does a deserving hypothesis emerge?

• What epistemic and cognitive conditions can foster intuition?

• Can chance encounters/ events/ discoveries foster cases of epistemic illusions?

• What is the role of chance encounters/ events/ discoveries in insightful restructuring?
