The Science of Beauty – the Beauty of Science
This year´s theme combines the innate perception of beauty (whether it refers to people, nature or art), and the reproduction or manipulation of beauty by the technology that is available to our modern world. Further, the discussion of the beauty of science itself, its harmony and sense of reason lends the levity of philosophy to the programme.
