i2ADS’s structure is organised around the following R&D programs:
Interculturality and Society – foster intercultural cooperation through transnational and decolonial artistic and educational practices.
Art Education, Critique and Society – foster critical readings and challenge hegemonic narratives on public practices and policies in arts education;
Artistic Practice, Politics and Social Engagement – empower AR involving people and communities to generate narratives of change, remove barriers and promote free access to art resources;
Artistic Production, Processes and Technological Studies – promote the study of art and design material cultures and advance creative and technological applications in art production and performance;
Computation, Hybrid Practices and Culture – address the challenges of emerging computational techniques in AR and connect the digital shift with tangible and intangible heritage;
Drawing Between Disciplines – empower drawing as a democratic medium to challenge disciplinary strictures across divergent areas of knowledge in education and research;

i2ADS is a unit oriented towards producing research projects developed in a collaborative atmosphere, in partnership with higher education institutions, cultural institutions, research networks, municipalities and other organisations. Its research projects contribute to rethink and develop the role of practice, research and arts education in close relationship with the artistic, cultural, scientific and educational sectors of society. These projects recognize the centrality of Art and Design in the creation of intercultural dialogues, in the interdisciplinary and critical approaches to teaching and learning processes, in technological transformations and their impact in culture, in critique and in social involvement, in the development of new forms of material or immaterial expression, in enhancing the intangible cultural heritage and in defining policies that affect the cultural and creative sectors.
The research projects are subject to an external assessment process and are financed by research support agencies.
These are projects with an exploratory character for the development of new research ideas, practices, technologies or methodologies in the scope of Art and Design, on which there are still no previous results, and that have the potential to catapult future research projects at i2ADS. They are carried out individually or collaboratively, with the maximum duration of 18 months.
The seed projects are subject to an internal assessment process by the Scientific Council, supported by i2ADS’ own resources and through applications for occasional support for artistic and scientific events.
PROJECT SUBMISSION
The submissions of project proposals must follow the project form. After submission, the proposal will be analyzed by the i2ADS Scientific Council.
