As part of our 2025 colloquium series Research Ecologies – encounters, disruptions, common ground hosted by Berlin Centre for Advances Studies in Arts and Sciences (BAS) and Hybrid Plattform, we warmly invite you to a full day programme that explores the diversity of approaches and methodologies of artistic and scientific research.

Offering space and time for intense peer-to-peer exchange, two parallel workshops will open the days’ programme. With hand-on experience and practical insight, participants are invited to dive into the „toolbox“ of artistic research, asking questions such as, what can we as researchers instigate in responding to the most urgent and pressing challenges of our time?

Collaborative practice is central to interdisciplinary research, fostering shared learning and broadening perspectives. The second part of the programme reflects on the nature of collaboration within artistic research and how it can also help us shape a more sustainable future, as experienced in the Common Ground Studio and its cyclical system of knowledge-sharing and support across multiple generations.

The third and final part of the programme focuses on the diversity of research methods as seen in two concrete case studies: from speculative storytelling in the non-human narrative of a volcano, to how media formats influence our subconscious production of spatial knowledge.

Join us for this one-day summer intensive as we search together for the sites of encounter, disruption and common grounds that shape research that dares to cross disciplinary boundaries!
