Cultural Transformations Update In general: Most of the activities take place within the research groups: We have 12 groups with different size, constitutions and ambitions Conferences Funding application New group(s) New collaborations within the program and outside Energy and innovation PhD students have finished their dissertation (Lise, Sarah, Mathias), others are close to finish Young colleagues working hard to make a carrier (Claus, Susan, Mathias, Rikke, Jan) I hope that CT and the the RG s can support your work The program as host 2015 Conference on Participatory culture, January 2015 Study trip to Amsterdam May 2015 Workshop Agency (Aug 2015) Update winter symposium Visiting scholar: Rui Xu (AMWaade) PhD courses (2x, June 2015)
General decisions: Research organization at SCC Interdisciplinary research programs/groups as the core structure Research committee at CC, probably: Program directors and representatives for the three different locations (Nobel, Katrinebjerg, Kasernen) CT Decision: We want CT to continue as our research program And we will consider to create a CT center in 2016 Furthermore, we can suggest other centers based on our research work We will also suggest ideas for focus areas at Arts and SCC, based on the member s research interests
What can CT support your research? CT s main objectives: (see the original ones from 2012 on the next slide) Enjoy research and good work relationships Chair the international network SSCT and international collaboration Organize CT PhD Summer Schools Host international guest professors and Ph.D. candidates for exchange Create strong research collaborations across boarders (national, disciplines, faculties, universities) Support research at SCC Organize workshops, conferences, study trips etc. for members of CT Take part in strategic and research policy decisions at AU. i.e. about centers, focus areas, financial support for journals (run by the members of CT) etc. in behalf of members of CT Support the research groups affiliated to CT The research groups are essential to SCC s ambitions and strategies, and the research program wants to support the research that takes place in the groups by: Develop online (web) communication Support research leadership in the groups (courses, supervision, ask for working hours, the program director meets annually with the groups/leaders - FUS) Research applications: Organize workshops on strong research ideas (among others on Postdoc projects) Organize feedback + support on research applications Share successful applications Help each others to find strong international partners
Our original goals (2012) are still working Initiate international research network (Cultural Transformation), study tours and international cooperation Organize international conferences, national seminars and Ph.D.- courses Invite international guest professors and Ph.D. - candidates for exchange Check out possibilities for publications and new journal(s) on cultural study, develop interdisciplinary research areas (organized in research units, see below) and develop related study programs (among others Film & Culture study, Experience Economy, Cultural Studies, Health/culture/media, Communication & Digital Media) Focused efforts on getting more Ph.D.-applicants & candidates as well as more research project applications & funding Enjoy research and good work relationships

Keeping each other up to date. Meetings three times per semester. Socially well-functioning. Difficult to meet. People are busy. Lack of time for many of us. Strategic research development and applications. BA in Sound Studies (hopefully). TimeWorld (Time Institute) .

CT - Future plans? Center or research centers? What should/could the research program do for my research? Study trip 2017? Hamburg? Easters European city/university?
Suggestions for research focus areas (indsatsomr der) at Arts + CC In general: The research areas should reach out outside CC & Arts and include colleagues/collaborations across faculties and institutions (grand challenges) There will be some money, not much but visibility and support from Arts/CC Deadline in January/February (for the suggestions) Input: What could I think of as strong suggestions for focus areas at Arts & CC? Louise Ejgod Hansen: Centre for evaluation/applied research(?) Britta Timm Knudsen (see the next slide)
Input fra Britta Timm Knudsen Det er vigtigt at vi melder ud ift. ARTS-satningerne og her vil jeg gerne st tte Uses of the Past-tankerne (tv rg ende center?, omkring Heritage, Memory Studies osv.). Jeg har talt med Pernille Hermann p det norr ne omr de p Nordisk om at lave en lille forsknings-enhed omkring Mobilities Emotional Geograhies/vibrant Materialitites).P IKS er der nok ark ologer og antropologer, der ville v re interesseret. p IKS har Bjarke Paarup foresl et Medical Humanities og Urban Studies som satsningsomr der. Det er jo ikke til at vide om det bliver til noget men FYI.
