CREATIVITY
Conditions - Space for Development - Paths to Future

Living creatures are born into a world full of invitations to act. It is a world of mysteries and problems, challenges, threats, and opportunities. In our own interest, we are driven to explore, to understand, to describe, to praise, and to complain. The outcome of all these strivings is called creativity.

Rudolf Arnheim, The Echo of the Mountain

How are creative solutions achieved? What kind of attitude, what conditions are relevant in this process? Gestalt theorists have dealt with these questions from the very beginnings.

At this multidisciplinary scientific conference researchers and practitioners from a variety of fields present and discuss theories, implementations, or problems reflecting the general topic of the conference:
