RESEARCH WEEK OCTOBER 2025

Two Research Weeks are organized annually at the Academy. During these weeks, student research is central. The Research Weeks explicitly connect research and education, giving students the opportunity to engage with research(ers) and the research base within the Academy. During the Research Weeks, students can choose from various research classes.

These research classes—organized, prepared, and supervised by Academy researchers or externally invited researchers—are experimental and reflective in nature. They begin with a thematic, but not discipline-specific, question. In this way, they add value to and complement the permanent curriculum. They are not studio-bound but are rooted in current research, with a broad range of substantive or thematic perspectives, ensuring that every student can gain a meaningful research experience.

The first Research Week of the 2025–2026 academic year will take place from 14 to 17 October 2025 and will be part of the annual ARTICULATE research festival.


PROGRAMME 
During this Research Week, master students can choose from the following research classes:

Visions for Crossing & Vivid Talesby Anaïs Chabeur and Khristine Gillard
Reimagining MeerMeerby Jan Beddegenoodts and guests
Tasting Tendrils – Digital Delicacies & Edible Encountersby Mathias Mu
Persistence of Image in the Streetsby Harry Gamboa Jr.
Art & Ecologyby Sina Hensel, Ligia Poplawska and Delphine Wibaux
Parasite the White Cube: The Productivity of the Empty Spaceby Yuki Okumura

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

For the master students of the Academy. There will be no theory lessons nor studio work in this week. This allows the participating masters to make time and space for new experiences. 
Students will be assessed based on permanent evaluation and engagement in the process. The researches classes will be in English.

How and when to register? 
Register from Monday 22 September (12:00) until Monday 2 October 2025. Instructions will follow by email and via Intranet for Students.
