SibA Research Days 2024

Society and Research in Dialogue


SibA Research Days 2024 is organised by MuTri Doctoral School on 14.-15.3.2024 with the theme of Society and Research in Dialogue in Black Box, Music Centre.

The theme of this year’s research days is the relationship and dialogue between art, research, and society. What types of dialogues do we create and enable by our artistic or scientific research with our audiences, colleagues, readers, or the society at large? How can we improve the dialogue and what are the challenges we face?
