In a complex world overflowing with information and polarized thinking, our ability to make sense of it all is under pressure. How can we, both individually and collectively, find our bearings and think freely? The MakeSense project explores methodologies for scholarly thinking, listening, and speaking, grounded in „felt sense“—an often overlooked foundation of critical and creative thought.

Led by researchers at the University of Iceland and the Iceland University of the Arts, in collaboration with over 20 universities and research institutions worldwide, MakeSense advances innovative approaches to embodied, experiential inquiry at the intersection of philosophy, artistic research, and cognitive sciences.
