This two day conference will be hosted by the CCW Graduate School on May 11-12 at Millbank. The conference is part of the SHARE research and networking project focused on developing Europe wide standards and protocols for research in the arts and accompanying doctoral programs.

The emphasis of this second SHARE conference is development. The challenges, opportunities and critical issues faced in the building of new – and the further development of existing – programmes and platforms for third cycle (doctoral) education and research for the creative arts. Over two days of presentations, break-out groups, workshops and discussions, the conference will bring together researchers, educators, visual artist, designers, performing artist, and media practitioners from across Europe to think through the practical and theoretical challenges in developing doctoral level education in creative art practices. We believe this conference offers the UAL research community the opportunity to experience our own UK based perspective of arts based alongside the wider regional vision.

The conference will take place on Friday 11^th May 9.30am-5pm and Saturday 12^th May 10.00am-5pm.
