Research Weeks are organized at the Academy, with student research at their core. They make an explicit connection between research and education, giving students the opportunity to engage with research, meet researchers, and discover the research taking place at the Academy. During the Research Weeks, students can choose from a range of research classes.
These research classes - organized, prepared and supervised by researchers from the Academy and / or by externally recruited researchers - are experimental and reflective in nature, and start from a thematic, but not discipline-related question. In this way they provide added value to the permanent curriculum and are complementary to it. They are non-studio-bound, but start from current research, with a broad scope of substantive and / or thematic perspectives, so that a relevant research experience can take place for every student.
