The joint post-disciplinary colloquium for artistic and scientific research at Berlin University of the Arts (UdK Berlin) and Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) will continue in 2025.
The Berlin Centre for Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences (BAS) and the Hybrid Plattform cordially invite you to attend.

Early career researchers and artists from both universities will present their research projects under the theme:

Research Ecologies – encounters, disruptions, common ground

In a time of multiple crises that span across different geographies, time scales and political cycles, it is increasingly necessary to surpass disciplinary boundaries. It is at these sites of cross-disciplinary encounter that we can begin to address the major challenges of our time: social polarization, the climate emergency, the biodiversity crisis and ongoing social injustice. 

Cross-disciplinary encounters that are not simply concurrent, but equally irritant, are an important part of defining a common ground in research, allowing for more holistic solutions to our current challenges. The 2025 colloquium series focuses on artistic and scientific research questions in the face of current social phenomena and discourses, and offers a stage for projects that work on transformation topics in the context of climate and biodiversity, sustainability, social cohesion, the decolonial, digitalization as well as new technologies.

In the second colloquium, Home is a verb: challenging perspectives on belonging, two projects are presented that challenge the idea of home. Home is not only a container, but a concept and action, one that in the context of displacement and conflict is crucial in rebuilding a sense of belonging and perspective across an individuals’ migratory journey.
