 In direct succession to the symposium "History in Physics: Quantum Gravity" held in Potsdam and organised by BRCP members we set up a small-scale, two-day meeting on the topic of possible pathways for pursuing research in the domain of natural sciences outside of traditional institutions. Especially the natural sciences are usually envisioned as something 'independent' and 'free', yet inquiries into these domains are practically always socially (economically, politically) conditioned. It is not our objective to 'liberate' science, but to find models that partly resolve this discrepancy by rather liberating the scientist. The focused sessions will thus include discussions about vagabond science, nomadic thinking, rhizomatic structures of knowledge, and community-based publishing. In direct succession to the symposium "History in Physics: Quantum Gravity" held in Potsdam and organised by BRCP members we set up a small-scale, two-day meeting on the topic of possible pathways for pursuing research in the domain of natural sciences outside of traditional institutions.

-Summary: \\ +
-We asked the at remaining people at the end of the workshop to shortly warp up, what they took from this workshop. We want to let this be the summary. +
- +
-Berna: +
-  * Processes and practices in science: +
-    * Further develop understanding +
-    * New inspiration for already started project about arxive (WEBSITE?): \\ Who are the people behind these papers. New emphasis maybe on how did this paper evolve? +
-Pedro: +
-  * First BRCP meeting, very happy to meet people with a similar mind-set +
-  * Likes very much the idea of including the history of the research in a publication. Also the failures, which he considers very important, would have place here. +
-  * Art can be very helpful for scientific outreach. He did not think about this before in this way. +
- +
-Markus: (you can write this ;) +
- +
-Willi: +
-  * new ideas for imagination of the N-dimensional space. Very inspiring! +
- +
-Philip: +
-  * There are many more connection between arts and science than thought before. He sees a lot of possibilities here!  +
-  * Very fond of the idea of the new institute! Maybe connect arts and science from the beginning? +
-  * Very grateful for the term outreach! +
-  * Sees himself as a researcher because he doesn't know where his processes are going to. However, actual researchers suffer a lot from having to clear goals and not being able to let things evolve freely. +
- +
-Florian: +
-  * Very interesting to see how diverse the opinions are even in such a special group like the BRCP (see factions in the first session) +
-  * Strengthened in his wish to pursue more collaborations between arts and science, especially related to scientific reflection and research process +
-  * The institute idea was really inspiring!+
