Programme description

PEERS is a pre-PhD program of the Institute for the Performing Arts and Film (IPF) at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). It supports emerging artistic researchers who are interested in pursuing a doctorate in the arts, foremost yet not exclusively in the performing arts and film. For a period of one and a half/two years, starting in September, participants partake in collective research gatherings and enjoy one-on-one mentoring sessions. Immersed in a dynamic research environment, they develop their research proposal while orientating in 3rdCycle Research. To this end, PEERS fellows encounter local and global partner institutions, get acquainted with the ZHdK infrastructure and receive tailored assistance in applying for artistic PhD programs.
