What is the conference for?
o The basic task of the conference is to map the state of the field of
contemporary research across the creative arts internationally with
particular reference to the European research space.
o The format of the conference will be to root discussion in specific
case-studies drawn from across the creative disciplines.
o The conference will thus seek to address a broad range of issues relevant
to current researchers, doctoral supervisors, academic and institutional
leaders, research funders and policy-makers.
o The conference will be an opportunity to profile the work of the Working
Group on Practice-Based Research and the preliminary outcomes of their work
to date.
o The conference will also mark the international launch of the Graduate
School of Creative Arts and Media. This is a unique initiative to establish
an all-island interdisciplinary doctoral programme across a range of
practices including visual and performing arts, design and creative
pedagogy.
What are the desired outcomes?
o To establish a common framework of dialogue among stakeholders whereby the
mapping of practice-based research / practice-led research / artistic
research may progress - not only at the level of first principles and
epistemological discourse but, most importantly, at the level of concrete
examples and case-studies drawn from a range of current practices.
o To consolidate existing national and international networks of research
exchange and interaction across the creative arts.
o To profile the diversity, richness and vibrancy of arts research.
o To provide decision-makers, practitioners and other stake-holders with
access to a body of knowledge, information and experience.
o To foster an emergent framework of cross-disciplinary dialogue and
interdisciplinary practice.
Who should participate?
o Practitioners, researchers, commissioners, funders and policy-makers
across the creative arts.
o Educators, doctoral supervisors, and academic leaders across the spectrum
of creative arts and cognate disciplines.
o Research funders and research development leaders
