KiiCS Award Ceremony @ Discovery Festival

Science is about discovering reality. Art is about unveiling it.
On September 26th, the European KiiCS Award Ceremony on Arts & Science will take place at the Discovery Festival Amsterdam. KiiCS is a European project aiming to develop and test arts and science incubation activities, to identify the best formats that stimulate the collaboration between artists, creative professionals and scientists, and to develop innovative ideas. 

The KiiCS project gathers scientists and artists to bring science closer to society through artistic creativity. An international jury will award this prize to the best innovative ideas at the intersection of art and science that originated within the project. Fifteen ideas from all over Europe have made it to the Award. The nominees will present these at the ceremony where the mystery will be solved. Find out which team will take home the award!
