The Vice-Dean of Film and TV School of Academy of Performing Arts in Prague announces the Second  Call for Proposals for Funding the Artistic Research in the year 2025 under the program: “FAMU Fellowship in Artistic Research”.

The aim of this Call for Proposals is to support projects from the area of Artistic Research targeted on creating of publication results that will lead to the exploration of new forms of research through art, where artistic practice is both the subject and the instrument of research for the artists themselves.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

  1. Supported projects must target for publication in one of these existing platforms such as ArteActa (category “On-line”, https://www.arteacta.cz), Journal for Artistic Research (https://jar-online.net), International Journal of Creative Media Research (https://www.creativemediaresearch.org), Screenworks (http://screenworks.org.uk), RUUKKU (http://ruukku-journal.fi), Transition (http://mediacommons.org/intransition/), Tecmerin (https://tecmerin.uc3m.es/en/journal/).

Therefore, applicants should first familiarise themselves with the type of results published on these platforms.

  1. An eligible applicant for the Fellowship is a member of FAMU academic staff who is an employee of FAMU throughout the implementation period, or a student who is enrolled in any accredited degree programme at FAMU and will have this status throughout the implementation period.

Each applicant may submit only one application as a (main) applicant but also may participate in other projects as a co-applicant, provided he/she is the co-author at least of one project outputs to be published.

  1. A committee evaluates the applications according to following review criteria:
  • The applicant’s previous artistic and scientific experience;
  • The contribution of the research to FAMU degree programmes and development in the field of Artistic Research in general;
  • Quality of the research plan (content, goals, methods and procedures of   implementing);
  • Realistic plan with regard to the chosen publishing platform.
  1. Within this call we expect to support up to 7 Fellowships in the amount of CZK 70,000 per project to be used to cover the personal costs of the applicant and/or co-applicant(s) participating on the project outcome(s)
  2. Should an applicant or a Fellowship holder become ineligible to carry out the project, or should any other circumstances prevent him/her from doing so, he/she is obligated to inform the project manager Adéla Kameníková (adela.kamenikova@famu.cz) immediately.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND TERMINATION

  2. Where the Fellowship holder is a student, he/she will be supported in the form of research, development and innovation activity scholarship under Section 91(2c) of Act No. 118/1998, amending certain laws.
