Innovations emerging from the intersection of the Sciences, Engineering, Arts, and Design (SEAD) are transforming our economy, society, and approaches to learning. These transformations are prompted by complex, global-scale issues, and emerge through coordination of different perspectives to yield products, methods, and questions that are fundamentally hybrid. Innovations stemming from transdisciplinary creativity can contribute to development of inclusive, sustainable economies and vibrantly cooperative cultures. SEAD facilitates research and dialogue toward these aims.
