We offer all AMU students and teachers consultations on the Research Catalogue (RC). You do not need to make an appointment in advance, but if you write to us, we can better prepare for your questions.
The Research Catalogue (RC) is a non-commercial, collaboration and publishing platform for artistic research provided by the Society for Artistic Research. It serves also as a backbone for teaching purposes, student assessment, peer review workflows and research funding administration. Through RC, it is possible to publish in peer-reviewed journals such as ARTEACTA or the Journal for Artistic Research.
