Outcomes

In the bid to the EU asking for co-funding for this network we identified a programme of work which the network will deliver. This work entails:

• a series of network meetings
• three international conferences:  04 - 05 November 2011 Helsinki, 23 - 24 May 2012 London, May 2013 Brussels.
• dissemination symposia in Vienna 8-10 November 2012 as strands of ELIA Conference
• producing discussion documents, reports, position papers and regular updates on work
• maintaining a web-based information resource and information exchange platform
• fostering interactions between researchers and supervisors internationally
• publishing a European handbook on artistic research
• seeding and enabling more international collaborative initiatives and bids across the arts
• lobbying for greater resources and recognition for arts research at all levels of decision-making
