The objective of the Norwegian Artistic Research School is to give research fellows an introduction to methods, theory and ethics as they relate to Artistic Research, as well as training in disseminating the results of artistic research. The joint professional training is intended to support research fellows’ artistic PhD projects and contribute to professional depth and breadth.
By offering joint professional training, the research school will enhance the candidates’ own doctoral work, and contribute to further development of ‘the Norwegian Model’ for artistic research, which takes art and the artistic practice as its point of departure, and is characterised by reflection and cross-disciplinary communication and cooperation.
Through the research school, the research fellows will acquire knowledge of and skills and competence in artistic research in accordance with the Norwegian Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (NKR).

The seminar is about ethics in artistic research and artistic practice. It provides an introduction to basic research ethics and ethics in the arts, as well as methods for mapping ethical dimensions of artistic research. Various ethical challenges and potentials are discussed based on the research fellows’ projects.
The seminar is about relationships in artistic research. Based on the research fellows’ research projects, endeavors are made to map relations and how they influence artistic processes and results in the different phases of projects. Experience is shared by leading and carrying out complex artistic projects.
