“Is ‘The Future of Practice Research’ the future of research?”

CHEAD is the association of educational institutions with degree or postgraduate provision in art and design. They have released a blog post about The Future of Practice Research conference that took place at Manchester Metropolitan University last month, where members of PRG were involved in the coordination and facilitation of the event.

The CHEAD briefing paper argues for greater recognition of, and support for, the value of Practice Research both within and beyond academia. This blog discusses the Symposiums directly addressed questions around the notion of a national infrastructure for sharing practice research:

“What would a functional national infrastructure for sharing practice research need to include? How could it enable connections between communities of interest, e.g. practice research, professional practice and public engagement, innovation, etc. ?”

The blog explains how the event functioned and also how the presentation of real practice research, courtesy of MMU Masters students in MA/MFA Performance and MA Fine Art, added to the experience of the symposium discussions.
