Some more words about the topics addressed during the conference...
The seminar will focus on the role played by individual creativity in shaping collaboration styles and its impact on research productivity. To operationalize creativity, the authors consider two contrasting visions of collaboration styles: the 'freak' collaboration style, that we define according to a popular characterization of creative individuals, and a monolithic collaboration style, that we define as converse to the 'freak' colloboration style. The discussion focuses on the relationship between collaboration styles and research productivity (measured here with the number of publications) by estimating ta Tobit model. Explanatory variables include preferences in collaboration, an assessment of cognitive distance, reasons for collaborating, and circumstances where collaboration initiated. Many results of this research are in line with extant investigations on collaboration and creative societies, while the results on cognitive distance and the circumstances for collaboration (e.g. the ways for meeting collaborators) show new -and previously- unappraised (positive) impacts on research productivity.
The seminar develops on the research project "C4-Core Creativity and Competition in Chemistry" that is financially supported by the University of Strasbourg Institute for Advanced Studies (ASIAS), and by the AGIR-PEPS call for applications.

To be mentioned here that the royalties linked to the book Knowledge, Organization and Management, edited by John Child et Martin Ihrig, fund the price awarded annually at the EGOS conference in memory of Max Boisot. In this book, chapter 9 by Agusti Canals, "Knowledge in Big Science", addresses the topics covered in this seminar. The chapter elaborates on the investigation developed by Max Boisot's team at CERN on the ATLAS project, that were described and analyzed in "Collisions and Collaboration" (Boisot, Nordberg, Yami, Niquevert, eds). This project develops further today with Agusti Canals (principal investigator and project manager).
