Euresis Journal is a multidisciplinary, online, open-access journal edited by the Euresis Association under the auspices of the Nova Universitas and CEUR Foundation, whose main scope is to promote, at an academic level, an understanding of science as a fully human pursuit, rooted into the universal human quest for beauty and meaning. This novel journal stems from the wish to provide an opportunity to share with the largest number of people the experience of the conferences and workshops that are part of the activities of the Euresis Association. Furthermore, we look forward to producing thematic issues of Euresis Journal open to contributions from scholars and scientists at large.
The current issue of Euresis Journal deals with the ’misterious’ role of creativity in scientific discovery. Creativity was the theme of a Symposium held in San Marino in the summer of 2008, whose title was: “Creativity and Creative Inspiration in Science.” The Symposium, organised by Euresis with the support of the John Templeton Foundation, was attended by several top-level scientists and scholars and was a success in terms of both contents of the conferences and passionate and fruitful discussions among the participants. We are happy to offer the proceedings of this Symposium as the second issue of our journal.
