Co-Chairs: Gerhard Fischer,

of Colorado, Boulder, USA)
Authors should submit papers related to the
main conference theme "Seeding Creativity:
Tools, Media, and Environments" and suggested
topics. The conference organizers hope that
these threads will also shape submitters presentations:
1. Cultivating Creative Minds
New technologies can foster creativity in individuals at all stages of their lifespan. Papers on this theme will explore the ways in which educational tools, media, and environments can (or perhaps, in some situations, cannot) enhance or encourage creative thinking in children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.
2. Sustaining Creative Communities
Although creative individuals are often portrayed as working in isolation, intelligence and creativity are richly influenced by social interaction and collaboration. Papers on this theme will explore the integration of individual and social creativity by means of well-designed collaboration tools, media, and environments that effectively support distributed cognition.
3. Promoting Creative Engagement
Creativity supports do more than encourage innovative thinking in science, engineering, design and the arts; they can also raise awareness of natural and social contexts so that users make fresh interpretations, generate novel hypotheses and behaviors, and spawn new collaborations. Papers on this theme will present innovative tools, media, and environments for creative engagement, including those that offer novel visualizations and experiences of contextual and even emotional aspects.
