Science Melting Pot

✨ Exciting news: We are thrilled to be part of "Quantum Futures," a Sociotechnical Imaginaries and Public Engagement, a new AUFF NOVA project exploring how society imagines, understands, and shapes the future of quantum technologies!⚛️

Quantum technologies are often described as revolutionary, yet they can feel distant from everyday life. This project asks an important question: What stories, expectations, and visions are shaping our quantum future—and who gets to be part of that conversation?👥

Bringing together researchers and practitioners from Aarhus, Leiden, and Rome, the project will explore how quantum technologies are perceived across scientific, public, commercial, and policy contexts, while co-creating new ways for people to engage with the social, ethical, and political questions surrounding quantum innovation 🇮🇹🇩🇰🇳🇱

And so excited to collaborate with project lead Kristian Hvidtfelt Nielsen (Head of Centre for Science Studies, Aarhus University), Julia Cramer (Leiden University), Esben Rohan Christensen (Accademia di Danimarca, Rome), Karen Barad (AUFF Visiting Fellow at ARTS, Aarhus University), Johanna Seibt (Philosophy, ARTS, Aarhus University), Shaeema Zaman and David Owen (Science Melting Pot) and Andreas Roepstorff (Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies) 🙌

We can't wait to help create more inclusive, meaningful, and socially connected conversations about quantum futures!✨✨

📣 See you in Sudbury, Canada!

In collaboration with , we will be there at the Canadian Association of Science Centres | Association canadienne des centres de sciences' Annual Conference on Wednesday, to do a workshop!

➡️ What is the workshop about?
Our collaborative workshop explores how systemic inequities persist in educational and professional environments, particularly for racialized and immigrant women in Canada. Through facilitated reflection and structured debriefing, attendees will practice identifying bias, examining positionality, and applying meta-reflexive questioning to real-world scenarios.

➡️ Our Approach
Blending storytelling, dialogue, and applied tools, this workshop supports participants in translating reflection into intentional allyship and systemic change in STEMM and science communication environments.
