11.30-13.30
Workshop 1: How my roles as supervisor has been defined for me / by me?
(break out groups, max 8 persons)

Participants discuss how they each were initially briefed on their role as a supervisor, what was made clear and what was left to their own judgment when they first started to supervise at doctoral level. Based on the exchange of experience and further discussion some key questions will be identified which supervisors at the start of the supervision process might find useful to ask of the institution and of the research student, as well as an discussion on the status of curricula and the degree to which supervising details should be contained in curricula.

13.30-14.30
Lunch

14.30-16.30
Workshop 2: The role / non-role of the supervisor’s artistic / academic practice in supervisory work
(break out groups, max 8 persons)

Participants discuss how their wider practice interacts with their specific role as a supervisor. The question here is not simply what is the case now, but also what do the participants wish to be the case in the future. Based on the exchange of experience and further discussion some proposals on how these relationships between the supervisor’s artistic / academic practice and the supervisory role will be generated. We will also consider the proposition that the supervisor may wish to retain a radical separation between these two domains – institutionally commissioned work and the autonomous work of an independent artist researcher, etc.

Participants are also asked to share accounts of some of the more challenging aspects of the supervision process ranging from cases where the working relationship between supervisor and doctorand becomes compromised or broken to cases where the project encounters difficulties that require radical re-thinking.

14.30-16.30

Workshop 3: Research assessment and quality criteria
(break out groups, max 8 persons)

Participants will present a short statement (prepared in advance) on the assessment of a research project, published in the 3rd issue of the Journal for Artistic Research (JAR, based on their own (institutional) standards. Both the published research, the JAR criteria for its evaluation, and the reviewer comments published alongside the research are not yardsticks for the discussion, but should be considered as points of departure, as concrete cases, which we can move away from, quarrel with or which might instigate further thought. An inclusive understanding of the issues involved should take into account different contexts, i.e. faculty research and 3rd level programmes in higher arts education, national and international research funding bodies and art councils, life events (e.g. exhibitions, performances), journals, fora for art criticism, etc. For the workshop we will confine ourselves for pragmatic reasons to research published in JAR. The aim of the workshop is to have an informed discussion on research assessment and quality criteria.

13.00-13.30
Closing discussion: “Proposals for EUFRAD #4”


***


EUFRAD has previously organized meetings in Glasgow (September 2009) and Stockholm (September 2011), bringing doctoral researchers and their supervisors together to explore the role of international networking and dialogue in the development of doctoral level artistic research work.

Working in conjunction with SHARE (jointly coordinated by ELIA and Gradcam) this 3rd meeting will mainly bring together supervisors (but also researchers are welcome to attend) to reflect on the specificity of the supervisor role within doctoral level artistic research.

Among the questions addressed by this conference are:
What are the different ways in which the supervisor role may be constructed within artistic research doctoral level work?
What are the different kinds of agency that the supervisor role can have within the development of individual doctoral projects; institutional research agendas; an international peer community for their subject area or discipline?
What relationships are possible between the artistic and creative practice of the supervisor and the content of the projects of their doctoral students?
What are the different ways in which the supervisor role may be supported institutionally?
What are the relationships between work as a supervisor and work as an examiner in the 3rd cycle? Is it necessary to acquire experience as an examiner in order to be a supervisor?
Given that the European models are so varied, and given the variety of employment models / institutional affiliations for supervisors, what can we do through international exchange between supervisors?
For further information, including a full programme, please visit the EUFRAD Vienna Programme Page.

The deadline to register is 28 August.

Registration is free.
Two lunches and one dinner are provided.
