Executive Summary of Sead Exemplars:Evidence of the Value of Transdisciplinary Projects Report for the National Academies
Roger Malina, Executive Editor, Leonardo

• The SEAD Steering Committee gathered a collection of "exemplar" works demonstrating effective intersections among the sciences and engineering with art, design and the humanities.
• More than 100 exemplars were submitted by 21 nominators during a 6-month call for nominations.
• The exemplars were analyzed according to disciplines, demographics, work models and funding sources.
• The collection as a whole represents international diversity as well as diversity of practices and disciplines.
• A selection of exemplars can be found as a webexhibit at <www.SEADexemplars.org>; there will be a companion print exhibit.
• The exemplars provide evidence of the positive impact that disciplinary integration can have in education, culture and economic resurgence and also contribute to the "STEM to STEAM" debate.
