The project

The Enacting Artistic Research (EAR) aims to leverage artistic research as a strategic tool for the internationalization of Higher Education for Art, Music and Dance (AFAM).

EAR focuses on three main objectives:

1. Integration of art and science: combining advanced technologies and cultural heritage to promote a new vision of art and culture in a global context.
2. International dialogue and collaboration: connecting AFAM and scientific institutions to ease knowledge and methodologies exchange.
3. Inclusion and accessibility: using technology to make cultural heritage accessible to a wider audience, removing physical and digital barriers.

Coordinated by the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome, the project brings together a distinguished group of partners:

• Brera Academy of Fine Arts
• Florence Academy of Fine Arts
• Conservatory of Music Santa Cecilia
• “Alfredo Casella” Conservatoire of Music
• National Institute of Nuclear Physics
• Marche Polytechnic University

In addition, EAR is supported by a strong network of associated international partners, including the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA), Hungarian University of Fine Arts Doctoral School, Academy of Fine Arts of the University of Zagreb, Norwegian Artistic Research School, Art Academy of Latvia, Ars Electronica, Chigiana Music Academy.

EAR spans over a period of 22 months starting from 1 May 2024, and is funded by the European Union – Next Generation EU, Mission 4, Component 1 with a contribution of € 2,422,593.63.
