The purpose of this initiative and network, set up by The Young Academy and the Society of Arts, is to make it easier for professionals in these two sectors to work together and to make collaboration between them more adventurous and rewarding.
Mingler consists of two parts:
- Mingler Live
- Mingler Scholarship
Who is Mingler for?
Mingler is a network by and for artists and scientists who are eager to work together and open to the idea of exploration and experimentation. Mingler spotlights makers and thinkers who are curious about one another and who would like to ‘mingle’ with other artists and scientists in order to explore and enter into partnerships with them.
The initiative is intended for scientists and artists who have already initiated activities at the interface of art and science – for example a publication, art object, exhibition, film, or creative industry project – or who have tangible ideas for an art-science project.
Network participants should be highly motivated to meet and engage with people active in different disciplines in science and the arts.
Contact
Mingler was initiated by The Young Academy and the Society of Arts (both part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences).

Mingler Scholarship: Encouraging collaboration
The Mingler Scholarship has been awarded annually in recent years to a scientist-artist pair who are collaborating with one another. The Scholarship is meant to offer a financial incentive to new art-science partnerships. The Scholarship consisted of the monetary sum of € 10,000 (ten thousand euros) per pair, made available by the Niemeijer Fund.
