On September 12th the closed workshop for young scholars took place. Interesting papers from around the world (South Africa, Barbados, Canada, Germany!) showed insights on music festivals, on blockchain technology, on carribean collecting societies and also on virtual worlds (www.fawm.org) of music collaboration (Organized Creativity’s doctoral researcher Benjamin Schiemer).

We are happy to inform you that The Young Scholars Award  went to Benjamin Schiemer for his paper “ Virtual Songwriting: Fostering Creative Processes through “Challenge” and “Collaboration” ! The paper very interestingly unfolds the creative processes on a music plattform between incompleteness and closure.
