The Center for Hybrid Intelligence is an interdisciplinary collaborative lab located at the Department of Management, School of Business and Social Science, Aarhus University (Denmark). The center is dedicated to exploring the synergies between human and machine intelligence. Through scientific research, digital game development, and education tools, they aim to address complex problems. They emphasize the importance of putting people first in the development of new technologies and fostering a symbiosis between humanity and technology.
With respect to creativity their work includes: computational co-creativity and human-computer interaction, co-creativity for social good, psychometric assessment of creativity using artificial intelligence and digital games, the role of generative AI in creative professional spaces and businesses.

The CCL at the University of Graz, Austria, studies creativity with a focus on cognition. For example, we investigate the role of memory, attention, and cognitive control including metacognitive processes in creative ideation. We also examine individual differences in creativity from potential to behavior, conceptions of creativity, and psychometric challenges in creativity assessment. This work employs behavioral, computational, and neuroscientific methods such EEG, MRI, and eye-tracking.

The DoC Lab research activities are mainly focused on the understanding of the psychological mechanisms at the basis of the creative thinking process dynamics. Creative thinking is conceived in the DoC Lab as a complex system emerging from the interactive relationships between cognitive, emotional, personality and contextual factors. The creative thinking process is explored through different research lines and methodological approaches aimed at understanding the creative dynamics from a multivariate point of view. The DoC Lab is based at the University of Trieste (Italy), but it is grounded on international and interdisciplinary collaborations.
The Institute on Creativity and Innovations of Aix-Marseille (InCIAM)conducts multidisciplinary work focusing on both fundamental and applied research objectives, in connection with the socio-economic and cultural world. It comprises 17 research laboratories, 16 master’s trainings and 7 doctoral schools in Aix-Marseille University.
InCIAM is aimed at the understanding of the dynamics, factors and conditions that influence creative and innovation processes and/or the development of creative productions and innovations adapted to individuals and organizations. The thematic research axes developed in the institute are: (1) Creative and Innovation Processes: Epistemology and genetics of creative productions; Understanding and assisting creative and innovation processes; Analysis and support for creative and cultural industries; and (2) Development of innovations in different fields of application : Health; Education; Work.
Head of Institute: Nathalie Bonnardel
Members of InCIAM executive committee: Nathalie Bonnardel (director), Ariel Mendez (deputy director for research), Fabien Girandola (deputy director for training), Louis Alliou (CreaLabengineer), Agnès Lellouche-Gounon (project manager)
The research conducted in the Creativity, Innovation and Leadership Assessment (CILA) lab focuses on creativity and innovation at the individual and team level. Research projects focus on understanding the cognitive processes at the individual and team level, social processes, and personality and motivational factors that influence the creative problem-solving process. The goal of all of the research is to develop practices that can facilitate creativity and innovation in organizations.
This group is dedicated to the study of creativity as distributed, complex systems from which novel ideas emerge, are evaluated and integrated into both personal points of view and group and societal practices. The lab uses a variety of methods with emphasis on case study research.
Head of Lab: Michael Hanchett Hanson
