Member Research Labs
The Center for Hybrid Intelligence
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.
Head of Lab: Jacob Sherson (professor, founder, director) Janet Rafner (Postdoc, Jr. Center director)
Lab members: Blanka Zana (research assistant), Safinaz Büyükgüzel (Postdoc), Ida Bang Hansen (research assistant)
Creative Cognition Lab (CCL)
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.
Head of Lab: Mathias Benedek
Lab Members: Simon Ceh, Ziva Korda, Janika Saretzki, Sonja Walcher
Dynamics of Creativity Laboratory (DoC Lab)
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.
Head of Lab: Sergio Agnoli
Lab Members: Caragliano Antonio, Velardi Valerio, Raissa Zoratti

Members of InCIAM executive committee: Nathalie Bonnardel (director), Ariel Mendez (deputy director for research), Fabien Girandola (deputy director for training), Louis Alliou (CreaLab engineer), Agnès Lellouche-Gounon (project manager)
Innovation and Leadership Assessment Lab
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.
