The Institute for Practice based Research in the Arts of the K.U. Leuven Association joins the art departments of the association's affiliated institutions of higher education with the relevant research groups within the university.
The institute aims at developing research projects in the arts by providing support to artists, by setting up projects, and by initiating doctorates. It wants to play a stimulating and coordinating role in the academization of higher art education. The focus is on the disciplines offered by the association's art institutes, namely architecture, audiovisual arts, fine arts, music, performing arts, and product design. However, on the initiative of researchers, other disciplines and study areas may be included in research projects and events.
