Defining Creativity
What are the main definitions when it comes to creativity? What does it mean to be creative?
For finding a topic you should sign up for a presentation slot. See what topic is most interesting for you and which date fits you. If you have additional ideas let me know. Add your name, an optional email for coordination. 15–20 minutes presentation, followed by discussion. You have to add at least two more papers to the talk. You can set a focus on comparing the papers or more on one.
Each talk should explain the papers but it is more important to ask the main questions of the seminar:
