"Can creativity an be measured?" Conference in Brussels
The aim of the conference was to advance in the understanding of different ways of measuring
creativity and assess the feasibility of measuring creativity in an international, comparative manner.
The intended outcomes of the conference are two-fold: Firstly, a short-term objective is to propose a
feasible measure of creativity using existing statistical sources. This should provide a list of a limited
number of indicators covering the various dimensions of creativity (derived from existing statistical
sources). Secondly, in a more long-term perspective, the conference aims at identifying the necessary
steps to be made to conduct a large scale survey to measure individual creativity. The first day of the
conference is dedicated to the first objective, while the second day is dedicated to the second one.
