Why is it important?
The intersections among Science, Art and Humanities disciplines can contribute significant advances for sustainable agriculture, transportation and telecommunication technologies, create novel educational practice, humanize medicine and scientific practices (or approaches), promote new expert insights about human brain functions and foster peace in real-world conflict zones.
