    Focus groups

    The main programme activities for PhD candidates take place in one of the five focus groups listed below. Each of these groups is assigned to one of the five departments of ZHdK and formed with specific thematic, transdisciplinary and methodological interests in mind. Applications are directly addressed to one of the groups. The small-group format (5–10 participants) enables candidates to exchange experiences and acquire skills in a supportive peer environment. They organize their own meetings (10–15 days per year) and employ a variety of formats of professional artistic exchange that extend beyond the traditional academic seminar.

    Individual mentoring meetings

    PhD candidates meet regularly with their supervisors by individual appointment. PhD projects are supervised by the head of the focus group (board member) or other supervisors permitted to do so by the departmental focus group. In addition, each candidate is supervised by a professor of the partner university (Linz).

    Further programme activities

    Several formats facilitate broader exchange between focus groups (annual Programme Conference) and with peers from Linz (semestrial Linz Colloquium). In addition, the board members organize and run an annual workshop to discuss the development of institutional frameworks (open to PhD candidates on a voluntary basis).
