Activity description

HEKA is a laboratory at the intersection of science, art and the economy based on the concept of »citizen science«. It's a platform of networking and cooperation between different stakeholders, establishing a dialogue between society and science using art and artistic thinking. The primary starting point of HEKA is the introduction of empathic curiosity and compassion, which is characteristic of art, into scientific methods of research. The guiding principle is the awareness that technology, art and the economy always impact an individual and society. Therefore, we want to bring these areas closer to individuals in harmony. Thematic areas in which the lab operates: - Researching the human impacts on the marine ecosystem. - Researching spatial sound reproduction. - Researching biomaterials. - Cooperation with the Central Technical School in Koper in implementing the training program of mechatronic techniques laboratory work. >>> FOLLOW US: https://www.mcruk.si/en/article/heka
