What is it?
The “Creative Convergence Awards” was created to encourage and continue supporting creative convergence researches that are being conducted by undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working at universities around the world. The goal is to encourage young researchers to integrate their ideas into various interdisciplinary fields, and to create an international research platform to promote exchanges among researchers so that they can continue their research more creatively.
Applicants will submit the subject and the summary of the study. If the application is approved afterward, the applicants should submit a research paper to this award within the deadline that would undergo a review process. Applicants that win the award will have the opportunity to present at the Conference of Creativity and Convergence held in the spring, and also post their papers in the Journal of Creative Convergence, which is published twice a year.
