Arts, humanities and business. A necessary meeting.
Can innovation exist without the humanities? For some years now, there has been a trend toward companies hiring professionals with humanities backgrounds. What value and skills do humanities degrees bring to the business sector? Beyond the specific training of employees, incorporating humanistic knowledge as a cross-cutting value within companies—key social agents—definitely contributes to social transformation and innovation. This forum brings together experts who navigate between two seemingly disparate worlds: the humanities and business. They will discuss the necessity, or impossibility, of a convergence between the two.
