Dr Marina Bazhydai and Dr Mathilde Prenevost, in collaboration with Professor Candice Satchwell from the University of Lancashire, hosted the workshop on the study of curiosity funded by the Methods North West. It served as inaugural interdisciplinary workshop into the nature and study of curiosity, welcoming over 70 experts from across the UK to the collaborative event. The idea for the event was was borne out of the Leverhulme Trust funded project The Curiosity Battery, a five-year endeavour being jointly undertaken by Lancaster University and Dr Lily FitzGibbon at the University of Stirling to better understand and measure curiosity and how it impacts our wellbeing.
