Based on the research fellows’ projects, various forms of contributions are discussed, as well as different formats for final presentations, documentation, and the archiving of artistic results and reflection.

Artistic Research Forums

The Artistic Research Forum was established by the Norwegian Artistic Research Programme as a yearly conference to promote the understanding of artistic research from a national and international perspective. At the forum, there are normally parallel sessions with presentations both of projects funded by the Norwegian Artistic Research Programme and research fellows' projects. The forums are organized twice a year. They are open to everyone with an interest in Artistic Research, and bring together research fellows, supervisors, project managers, academic and administrative staff, and others concerned with artistic research. Participation at the forums are free of charge, but all participants must book and pay for their own travel and accommodation.
