encounters. disruptions. common grounds.

Following the inspiring and productive encounters of 2025, the Research Ecologies will continue in 2026 with the Berlin Centre for Advanced Studies in Arts and Science (BAS) at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). We understand the colloquium series as a curated ecology of togetherness – as a shared space where scientific and artistic researchers meet to exchange ideas at the intersections and irritations of their work, investigating in the process of creation.

Research rarely proceeds in a straight line. That is why this year we would like to pay special tribute to detours and unresolved issues. We are looking for artistically and scientifically open approaches in doctoral theses and projects that are currently in the making – perhaps thinking in many directions, still undecided or in productive chaos.
