Leonardo Affiliates Are Our Future

Leonardo is heading toward the organization’s 50th anniversary as the originator and still premier publisher of scholarly research and creative work at the intersection of the arts, sciences and technology. What began in the mid-1960s as a conversation among a group of distinguished scientists and artists is still evolving. Today’s large, diverse and rapidly growing field of Art|Science is much more than a publication. The global network includes prestigious academic programs; research centers, labs and institutes; and a large number of workshops, conferences and other events that are moving beyond the boundaries of academia to K-12. The number of organizations dedicated to Leonardo’s interest in the arts, sciences and technology continues to grow as the field gains interest and advocates from academics, industry and governments. As much activity as there is today, we are still near the beginning of an era of greater and more rapid growth. Leonardo’s leadership as the publisher of record for the Art|Science field remains a primary organizational commitment. We are actively engaged in and pursuing partnerships that focus on the future of Art|Science publishing and exploring new and experimental digital platforms that enable collaborative research, rapid review and publication of research, advanced media and interactive technologies, and emerging models that enhance multiplatform distribution. Leonardo will announce new partnerships as soon as they are in place.
