Join us on the annual spring school on 26-27 February 2025.
This spring school is exclusively for ARIA researchers in the arts, focusing on enhancing research skills, exchanging research findings with peers, and learning from colleagues' work.
The programme of this edition will introduce some key aspects in artistic research and include interactive training sessions on writing (as a method and for communicating process and results) and research ethics. PhD researchers in their second and last year will have the opportunity to present their work and receive feedback.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage and network with other ARIA researchers. Participation is free, but registration is required before 20 February, using the form. The interactive group sessions have a limited number of spots, so make sure to sign up early.
