Lectorate Artistic Connective Practices
Fontys research is conducted in close cooperation with the professional field and is aimed at renewing and improving the professional practice for which we educate students. The research is organized within lectorates and expertise centers.
Artistic Connective PracticesArtistic Research Days
During the Artistic Research Days, Fontys Academy of the Arts' master programmes collaborate on research projects.
Artistic Research DaysSociety for Artistic Research | Research Catalogue
Fontys Academy of the Arts is a proud member of the Society for Artistic Research and an official portal partner of the Research Catalogue.
The Research Catalogue functions as a platform for the dissemination of self-published content as well as peer-reviewed publications. This open-source catalogue connects academic discourse and artistic practice.
It also serves as a backbone for teaching purposes, student assessment and peer review workflows. With more than more than 12.000 registered users, the Research Catalogue is the most used digital platform for artistic research to this day. Fontys offers free life-long user accounts to all students, teachers and staff.
IDEAS: inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, social safety
Students and employees of Fontys Academy of the Arts have a fundamental right to feel safe. Everyone has the right to be treated with respect and dignity. When a student or employee feels that there is unacceptable behaviour (bullying, sexually transgressive behaviour, discrimination, intimidation, racism, aggression or violence), this must be responded to appropriately. In short, they feel seen and heard according to their wishes. Here is an overview of various websites and internal portals with information about support options when confronted with unacceptable behaviour. The topic of “social safety” receives ample structural attention.

Alumni and work field
Fontys Academy of the Arts is very proud of its graduates and we would therefore like to stay in touch with them. The input we receive from our alumni and thus the professional field is essential for the innovation of our programmes. Moreover, we offer our alumni a Lifelong Learning programme, so that they may continue to grow on an academic level, even when they are already long graduated.
Events
Fontys Academy of the Arts organises several events throughout the year. They are often open for everyone to attend. Are you interested in one of our programmes, for example? Then you should come and join one of our events.
