Selected for three-year funding as an ERASMUS Academic Network, 2010-2013

ELIA and GradCAM, Dublin will jointly coordinate SHARE - Step-change Higher Arts Research Education. The European Commission has selected the project for structural funding over the period 2010-2013. 35 graduate schools and institutions engaged in third-cycle research in the arts take part. It was one of only eight academic networks to be selected, and the grant could count as a recognition of art and artistic research as a full academic discipline, its role in the creative economy, and of the need for further development of an international academic community and a coordinated approach towards research in the arts.
SHARE will start in October 2010.

SHARE will consist of three networks, working independently:

* A network of existing graduate schools to develop innovative, cross-disciplinary approaches and programmes of world-class excellence, building upon the current EARN European Artistic Research Network;
* A newly to form network for developing third-cycle education, providing information, support and a collaboration base for programmes in the start-up phase;
* A network of researchers and supervisors, continuing and expanding the EUFRAD forum for research degrees in arts and design.

Further working groups will be concerned with the validation, advocacy, and dissemination of artistic research; conferences in Copenhagen, London, and Brussels are envisioned.
