The first Artistic Research Platform Meeting, which took place from 13-14 June 2019 in Vienna, dealt with the question of how higher arts education institutions can provide a substantial and sustainable framework for artistic research. Particularly, the discussion focused on what artistic research projects and artistic research doctoral programmes need in terms of:

Infrastructure and Spaces;

• Critical Mass,
• Community and Feedback process;
• Multidisciplinarity vs Discipline Specifics;
• Dissemination, Open Access, Open Research Data;
• Handling Stereotypes and Institutional Challenges;
• Internal and External Funding schemes.
