about BAS
What is the Berlin Centre for Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences?
BAS
The Berlin Centre for Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences (BAS), an institution of the UdK, considers itself a roof that binds the different postgraduate academic programmes, doctorates, habilitations and research endeavours within the Berlin University of the Arts including the Design Research Lab, the Graduiertenkolleg „Das Wissen der Künste“, the Graduate School, the Hybrid Plattform, as well as doctoral students of all four departments.
It aims to develop lasting synergies between artistic and scientific practices in order to create a space for dynamic interactions and continuous dialogue. Due to exchange and cooperation on an internal, external and international level, new and innovative formats are developed. Focussing on interdisciplinary networking, BAS supports mutual ventures of artistic and scientific practices.
After being established as “Postgraduales Forum“ in 2014, a renaming as “Berlin Centre for Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences (BAS)“ followed suit in October 2016 in order to react to the increasingly international character of the institution.
