For 2025 and beyond, as part of a restructuring at SARN, the association has set its focus on advocacy for artistic research (read more in the Annual Report 2024). At this year's General Assembly, we invite you to join us for a discussion about "Where and How to Lobby for Artistic Research" with guests Beate Böckem (Head of Research, ZHdK) and Antonio Baldessare (Head of Research & Development, Department of Music, HSLU and Member of the SNSF Research Council). The talk will be moderated by SARN Co-President Rachel Mader and SARN Board member Siri Peyer, both of whom have been collecting perspectives on and analyzing the state of the third cycle in the arts in Switzerland as members of the SARN work group Pièce de Résistance during the past years. We'll round off the evening with an apéro.
