The focus of the research at ARIA lies with a group of approximately 45 to 50 doctoral researchers in the arts. They conduct their artistic research at one of the three Antwerp Schools of Arts in close collaboration with a network of associated members — lecturers and researchers who are actively involved in supervising ongoing doctoral projects or doctoral applications, or who are interested in taking on this role.
An overview of current doctoral research can be found here, and defended projects can be consulted here.
This list of members involved is not exhaustive. Other lecturers and researchers from the University of Antwerp and the Schools of Arts may also act as supervisors, provided they meet the criteria set.
