More on Starlab
Description from Wikipedia:
Starlab NV/SA was a multidisciplinary, blue sky research institute established to serve as an incubator for long-term and basic research in the spirit of Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, Interval Research and MIT Media Lab. The laboratory's open and cross-disciplinary culture has been oft-cited (see media coverage, below) as an innovative effort to foster creativity between researchers, intended as an original, if ambitious, dream to create a utopian environment for the pursuit of forward-thinking scientific research. Starlab's primary headquarters were based in Brussels, Belgium from 1996-2001 – with a second base of operations, Starlab Barcelona – established in July 2000 and still active today in the Fabra Observatory atop the mountains outside Barcelona, Spain. ==Research culture==
At its peak, Starlab employed over 130 scientists from thirty-six nationalities, many of them leaders in their respective fields. Projects actively pursued on-site included intelligent clothing, stem cell research, emotics, transarchitecture, robotics, theoretical physics, e.g., the possibility of time travel, consciousness, quantum computation, quantum information, art, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, new media, biophysics, materials science, protein folding, nanoelectronics, and wearable computing, to mention a few. These research lines were grouped under the acronym "BANG," Bits, Atoms, Neurons, Genes – a theme subsequently adopted by MIT Media Lab in 2002.
