The Research Agenda is the result of a collaborative effort by professors and researchers from nine universities of applied sciences and the Amsterdam ROC Amsterdam. It provides guiding principles and recommendations for integrating art, science, and technology into education, reflecting the necessity for creative and innovative solutions to complex global issues.
The agenda was presented to Annet Lekkerkerker, Chair of the Amsterdam University of the Arts, during the symposium Arts❤️Sciences: Interdisciplinary Education for the Future, organized by OKWT in collaboration with CASE (Centre for Arts & Sciences Education). The event featured workshops where participants explored the practical applications of the agenda’s insights.

Living in cities developed around data and acting within the inscrutable structure of our techno-society demands art and design that can help understand how we relate to these rapidly changing surroundings and to reflect on that relationship. The research group Situated Art, Design and Technology responds to this exigency by fostering a situated turn in art and design through a diverse portfolio of interdisciplinary research projects in partnership with academic and cultural partners, as well as with government and industry.
