THE ARTISTIC COMPETITION OF THE SCIENTISTS OF TODAY AND TOMORROW!
The objective of InvestigArte is to bring scientific investigation and its importance closer to society by utilizing means such as the visual media (photography, illustration, video etc.). For this purpose a competition was initiated for the first time in 2012/2013, which should make visible the relations between science, technology and art. A main focus was laid on the dissemination of the scientific achievements. Now the call of the second competition of InvestigArte is open to the public!
