Call for papers and presentations
Deadline: 14 December 2009
Following the success of the ELIA Biennial Conference in Gothenburg in 2008 (hosted by the University of Gothenburg), we are pleased to announce that the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux – Art de Nantes Metropole has invited ELIA to hold its 11th Biennial Conference in the elegant and dynamic city of Nantes, France. The conference will take place at Le lieu unique (LU), located in the middle of Nantes and surrounded by the city’s art schools and cultural institutions.
The structure of the conference is a bit different compared to previous conferences, we will for instance continue with discussions during the lunches. We have chosen for 8 symposia of one and a half hour each and for 10 discipline sessions, but there is space left open for new suggestions. There is an overarching theme for the conference, connected with the city of Nantes, under which umbrella we intend to address most burning, important, current and inspiring issues that concern higher arts education in Europe. With this call for papers and presentations we ask ELIA members to give input to the programme in Nantes through new, innovative ideas and good practice.
We are looking forward to receiving your proposals and to see you in Nantes.
