Summer News
Dear
reader,
Mid-summer,
when the academy’s closed, is not the best
time to send out a newsletter. But in spite of that
there is important news we would like to
share: for the next three years,
there will be a new European Academic Network for the arts called SHARE – a network of 35 partner institutions with research programmes, jointly coordinated by ELIA and GradCAM-DIT Dublin.
While the
academy’s closed for summer, after a hectic month of degree shows, work at ELIA
goes on. The selection for the NEU/NOW Festival has been made. To close
off artesnet, a publication is in the pipeline, and another book (Art Futures) will be
published just after the 11th ELIA Biennial. ELIA will
take part in an international project to build an Artistic Research
Catalogue, and keeps track of the TUNING project.
More news
will follow in September. (If you also have something to announce, please, contact
us.) For now, we wish you a pleasant read, lots of art, and a revivifying
summer,
Warm regards,
Carla Delfos
Executive Director ELIA

SHARE Network for research in the arts
Selected for three-year funding as an ERASMUS Academic Network, 2010-2013
ELIA and GradCAM, Dublin will jointly coordinate SHARE - Step-change Higher Arts Research Education. The European Commission has
selected the project for structural funding over the period 2010-2013. 35 graduate schools
and institutions engaged in third-cycle research in the arts take part. It was one of only eight academic networks to be
selected, and the grant could count as a recognition of art and artistic
research as a full academic discipline, its role in the creative economy, and
of the need for further development of an international academic community and
a coordinated approach towards research in the arts.
SHARE will start in October 2010.

Artesnet Europe Final publication
The artesnet project is coming to its close. After the final all partners meeting in Porto, 7-8 May, we are now working on the publication that will come out in October and be presented at the 11th ELIA Biennial in Nantes. The successor to Tapping into the potential of Higher Arts Education in Europe, the artesnet book will provide an overview of creative partnership, QA activities, and research initiatives. We haven't yet decided upon a title.

Artistic Research Catalogue
ELIA is partner in an international project, funded by the Dutch government, to develop the Artistic Research Catalogue (ARC). ARC is a web-based repository (in the making), which will serve to expose, document, stage, communicate and disseminate artistic research by students, independent artists and art institutes world wide. The research catalogue software will provide the backbone for the international Journal for Artistic Research, which was founded on 5-6 March 2010 in Bern, Switzerland. For more information on the research catalogue and the Journal for Artistic Research, please visit:

Sectoral Qualifications Framework for the Arts and Humanities
Project launch: Thessaloniki, Greece, 1-2 October 2010
ELIA is involved in a European project Sectoral Qualifications Framework for the Arts and Humanities, organized by TUNING. Its main task is to develop descriptions for the 3rd-5th cycle of the European qualifications, which are the qualifications possibly leading to higher arts education. It will be particularly interesting and useful for colleagues who develop special programmes to attract talented people, without proper educational backgrounds, involvement in secondary education and foundation programmes.
The project launch will take place in Thessaloniki 1- 2 October 2010. The other groups within the project from the arts (music, architects) and the humanities will also meet there and we will have some joint sessions. To participate, please contact Truus Ophuysen:

Report on the Future of Higher Arts Education in the Netherlands
Following shortly upon a report on the state of Higher Education in the Netherlands at large, the report Onderscheiden, Verbinden, Vernieuwen: De toekomst van het hoger kunstonderwijs gives a favourable judgement on the quality and ambitions of Higher Arts Education in the Netherlands, but deplores the lack of detailed data on professional placement, and stresses the need for art academies to become "knowledge centres" with regard to the cultural sector and the creative economy.
