The Theory Platform is an academy-wide platform for bringing about educational innovation. At bimonthly meetings chaired by the Lectorate Art Theory and Practice (Prof. Dr. Anke Haarmann) an ongoing dialogue is facilitated about teaching methods, forms of collaboration between theory tutors and practice tutors, the meaning of research, its relationship with artistic practice, thesis requirements, quality criteria, et cetera. These bimonthly meetings constitute an environment in which critical (self)reflection and experiment can thrive and different viewpoints and experiences can be exchanged and measured up against one another. For instance: educational innovation, policy advice, new structures and fields for theory teaching and research, guidelines for examinations and theses, exchanging and development for teaching research and theory in all BA and MA programmes.
