Artistic Research
Artistic research was introduced as an academic discipline in the late 20th century and is today a growing research field in many places world-wide. At Lund University, artistic research was established in 2000.
As the research infrastructure at the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts at Lund University, IAC facilitates research activities in artistic practices and cross-disciplinary explorations in the arts that involve researchers and doctoral students.
