As a member of The Artistic Research Alliance, SAR is thrilled to announce that the Artistic Research Alliance has officially launched its first statement, marking a significant step in our shared advocacy for artistic research at European and international levels.
The Artistic Research Alliance stands for artistic research in all its diversity, from academic institutions to independent research actors, and including research in all art practice disciplines: architecture, design, film, photography, fine art, media and digital arts, music and the performing arts, creative writing, circus etc., as well as transdisciplinary efforts.
This statement represents the collective voice of our alliance and our commitment to elevating the role of artistic research in education, research, innovation, and policy discussions.During its meeting in Vienna on 27 September 2024, the alliance reiterated the importance of collective action on key policy and funding frameworks, building on foundational documents that continue to be relevant today: The Vienna Declaration on Artistic Research (2020), The “Florence Principles” on the Doctorate in the Arts (2016), and Proposed Changes to the Frascati Manual (2022).
Through regular knowledge exchange, the partners will develop and implement a shared advocacy strategy. This will include joint campaigns, policy papers, representation in stakeholder consultations and participation in interdisciplinary forums for policy and discourse development.
