The Research Catalogue is a powerful, non-commercial, inclusive collaboration and publishing platform for artistic research provided by the Society for Artistic Research, which was founded in Switzerland in 2010.
The Research Catalogue functions as a platform for the dissemination of self-published content as well as peer-reviewed publications. This open-source catalogue connects academic discourse and artistic practice.
It also serves as a backbone for teaching purposes, student assessment and peer review workflows. With more than more than 12.000 registered users, the Research Catalogue is the most used digital platform for artistic research to this day. Fontys offers free life-long user accounts to all students, teachers and staff.

IDEAS: inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, social safety

Students and employees of Fontys Academy of the Arts have a fundamental right to feel safe. Everyone has the right to be treated with respect and dignity. When a student or employee feels that there is unacceptable behaviour (bullying, sexually transgressive behaviour, discrimination, intimidation, racism, aggression or violence), this must be responded to appropriately. In short, they feel seen and heard according to their wishes. Here is an overview of various websites and internal portals with information about support options when confronted with unacceptable behaviour. The topic of “social safety” receives ample structural attention.

Moreover, we offer our alumni a Lifelong Learning programme, so that they may continue to grow on an academic level, even when they are already long graduated.
