The artist Bela and the researcher Eleni and Heinrich come together for a talk. They speak about the advantages of abstract art-works dealing with the topic Ewing Sarcoma. They share their ideas concerning three main aspects of the researchers’ work: (1) regarding the cancer, finding it; (2) characterising or describing it; (3) blocking it. For the work of Bela, these three aspects are very helpful. He wants to find a graphic language, also to show the complexity of the researchers’ work — maybe in form of a cartoon.

Eleni Tomazou and Heinrich Kovar are scientists at the St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute (CCRI), Bela Borsodi is a photographer and artist in New York and Vienna. The project Art4Science enables the scientists of St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute to develop a specific method of collaboration, by working with artists of different fields. In order to present scientific processes and research works in an innovative way, the artists will create music pieces, visual works of art and fashion collections as well. To provide the public with first-hand information, the meetings will be documented in radio shows and podcast recordings.
