Residencies and visiting researching artists
In order for research to grow, the exchange of good practices is indispensable.
Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp
Each academic year, the studios at the Academy invite an artist, designer, theorist, curator and / or researcher to share his or her artistic research with the students and the research community. In addition to a public lecture or presentation - open to all students, teachers and researchers - a consultation moment or an in-depth workshop with the researcher is organized for the students.
The doctoral researchers also enter into dialogue with the BA3 and MA students about their work and research, if possible linked to a studio visit.
In addition, the Academy developed a program of 'visiting researching artists', in which an internationally renowned artist and / or designer visits the school, shares his / her artistic practice, visits the studios of the students, and discusses with other researchers meta themes such as higher art education or research in the arts.
From September 2020 on, a residency program will be set up for researchers in the arts in collaboration with the research group Thinking Tools and AAIR.
Royal Conservatoire Antwerp
Exchanges between internal and external researchers and/or specialists and local researchers and students also take place in various forms at the Conservatoire. Within the framework of an extensive programme of masterclasses, international top specialists from various disciplines within Music and the Performing Arts are invited throughout the academic year. The focus on exchange and cross-pollination is further intensified during the annual NextDoors, the interdisciplinary project week and the ARTICULATE art&research days. During these weeks, top researchers from home and abroad are invited, alongside partners from the arts sector.
REQUESTS
Due to the limited capacity, all visits or internships at the Conservatoire must be requested at least four months in advance and require explicit approval from the Head of Research. This ensures that the institution can provide the necessary resources, space, and supervision to support the visiting researcher or intern effectively.
Requests should be submitted via the relevant internal contact within the international office, who will coordinate with the Head of Research for final approval. Contact international.kca@ap.be
PROCEDURES
There are different administrative procedures to visit the Conservatoire as a researcher:
Erasmus+ or other mobility grant for staff/researcher mobility
Inform through international.kca@ap.be if you need a letter of invitation and mention your institution and dates. In this scenario, you will not receive an AP account (within our university), you will not be able to make room reservations yourself, only through your local contact active in the Conservatoire research department.
In specific cases you can request to receive an AP account and to be registered as an internal trainee-employer. This scenario is only for researchers who will be very actively involved, also in the educational activities at the Conservatoire. This will have to be promoted by an internal Conservatoire researcher. Reach out to your Conservatoire-promotor who will bring you in contact with the right staff members.
Erasmus+ traineeship (after graduation) grant
Contact international.kca@ap.be and our HR responsible jodka.crabbe@ap.be to take care of the traineeship administration as soon as possible. In this scenario you will receive an AP account and will be registered as an internal trainee-employer. You can receive access to the classroom reservation system if needed. This scenario is only for researchers who will be very actively involved, also in the educational activities at the Conservatoire.
PHD student Erasmus+ mobility grant for study or traineeship (more than 2 months)
You will have to register as an incoming student, reach out to international.kca@ap.be and incomingstudents@ap.be. In this scenario you will be registered as a student with an AP account and with access to all systems like our regular students.
