Artistic Research and Third Cycle in the Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome 

ABARoma

‘Artistic Research and the Third Cycle in the Arts’ will be discussed in a conference that will be held virtually and in presence at the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome on 20 July, 2022, bringing together the experience of several generations, from leading researchers active in academic discussion throughout Europe, to young junior scientists who, thanks to the European project, have been able to start postgraduate research.

The conference stems from the intense and fruitful collaboration within the EU4ART_differences project, which aims precisely to develop new insights on Artistic Research, and collaborations between partner universities on third-cycle models.

These months were also crucial for developing, in close relationship with national stakeholders, a possible pathway leading to the establishment of the ABAROMA third-cycle model, the first of its kind for the AFAM (Higher Education in Art and Music) sector.

At this crucial moment, the Conference will be an opportunity to discuss the issues of the third cycle in the arts in an international context, bringing together institutions (Ministry of the University), national and European quality assessment agencies (ANVUR and Eq-ARTs), representatives of significant European projects (Creator Doctus, EU4ART_differences). Different practices and experiences will be shared, in a trans-disciplinary approach (HUFA and LMA Doctoral Schools, Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia, Zerynthia).

The Conference will give the floor to the young arts researchers  involved in the project, and  to the announcement of the EU4ART_differences Doctoral Summer School that will take place in September.

At the Conference, the new Doctoral Courses for which our Academy has requested accreditation will be presented. The first one, included in the framework of the Doctorates of National Interest and presented by a Consortium formed by the University of Tor Vergata, the Academy of Rome and other Fine Arts Academies, will be dedicated to Cultural Heritage communication and valorization sciences. The Academy of Rome will activate two scholarships for a ‘New Media for Cultural Heritage’ curriculum.

The second Phd was presented by a Consortium formed by the University of Roma Tre, the Rome Academy of Fine Arts, the National Academy of Dance and the Silvio d’Amico Academy of Dramatic Art, and will have a single curriculum in ‘Performing Arts’, for which the Academy of Rome will activate a scholarship.
