Arts-science prize now an international competition

I’m not sure what’s happening but I’m losing more features from my blogging software as I update to the newest versions. (A few weeks I lost the ability to use my linking features and now I’ve lost access to my entire visual editor.) I apologize, this is probably not going to look pretty.

There’s an art-science competition in France which is being opened to international participation. From the April 5, 2011 news item (http://www.nanowerk.com/news/newsid=20863.php) on Nanowerk,

The Arts-Sciences Workshop, a common innovation initiative between CEA-Grenoble and the Hexagone Scène Nationale de Meylan, in partnership with the Cultural Center for Scientific and Industrial Engineering (CCSTI) in Grenoble, has issued a call for projects. The 2011 Art.Research.Technology.Science prize is open to an international audience for the first time. It will reward projects that cross the artistic, technological, and scientific domains in three research areas of CEA/Grenoble:
• New energy technologies for transportation, mobile electronics, solar energy, energy storage and nanomaterials
• New technologies for information and communication, microsystems, imaging, lighting, display and bio/health
• Living and materials sciences The winner will receive a research partnership with a CEA laboratory and a cash award of 30,000 euros to be used in the fulfilment of the project. For this third year of the prize, the Arts-Sciences Workshop has expanded its offer to include a second prize, a jury’s pick and a special reward for students. The deadline for entries is May 18, 2011. Prizes will be awarded in October at the Rencontres-I, Biennial Arts-Sciences 2011.

The materials on the site are in both French and English although it seems to me that if you apply and win the prize you may want to brush up on your French language since this involves a residency.
