 17: \\**Discussion: describing the big picture.**
 18: \\What areas of research will emphasize the synergies between creativity and computer science, information technology, engineering, and the physical and life scienes?
 19: \\What kinds of education will support creative practice and interdisciplinary research?
 20: \\What reform is needed to apply creative practice and interdisciplinary research more widely?\\
 21: 
 22: * interdisciplinary is a means and not a goal
 23: * there will always be people who have no interest in interdisciplinarity or changing status quo
 24: * is interdisciplinary research an essential ingredient for creativity resaerch??
 25: * it takes almost as much creativity to recognise creativity
 26: * Do we use interdisciplinary multidisciplinary cross-disciplinary and transdisciplinary interchangeably or are they distinct? If so how are they distinct?
 27: * Where do we publish interdisciplinary research? How would we evalute it? How does it become respectable? (Or at least as respectable mono-disciplinary journals and their review processes)
 28: * In UK we had seed funding to build interdisicplinary communities - would small seed-funding grants be part of first round of funding? Then in the second round of funding –calls these communities could subsequently go for bigger grants.
 29: * Two types of interdisciplinary communities: interdisciplinary research communities and communities of interdisciplinary researchers?
 30: * Creativity can come from single individuals or from groups, hierarchical structures or not, multidisciplinary fields or not, artists, scientists, or engineers, or not.
 31: * Can I submit my NSF proposal and my peer reviewers as well?
 32: * should NSF fund things outside the norm - not just academics and their graduate students
 33: * identify difficult problems that require creativity in order to be solved
 34: * evaluate proposals in the way you evaluate design rather than the way you evaluate a research plan
 35: * creativity is about building new worlds, which you can't evaluate until you know something about it
 36: * emphasise the evaluation of the person/group more than the research plan or methodology
 37: * Could NSF provide a matchmaking service for artists, designers, engineers and scientists?

 44: * Aren't we here to create a new discipline on creativity+IT whatever the name would be?
 45: * An analogy ? research findings in medical science are used by doctors to cure patients' illness. Research findings in this new discipline on Creativity+IT would be used by AAAAA to help people BBBBB. What are AAAAA and BBBBB???
 46: * Don't IR teams emerge in exactly the same way as friendhips?

 49: "Sometimes you say to yourself 'what should I do next?...' you're trying to think of the right think to do but quite often you should think 'what's the wrong thing to do, what should I not do?...' and then do that."
 50: ? American artist Robert Wilson
