At the Amsterdam University of the Arts (AHK), we are committed to research in the arts with an innovative capacity, both artistically and socially. The AHK is a knowledge institution for both teaching and research. Due to the importance of research, the University has set up the AHK Research Centre. The AHK Research Centre is a link between our research groups and enables researchers to share their expertise and to introduce their research to the world.   

Joint research profile: ‘Engagement through critical creative practice’

The researchers work with a joint research profile: ‘Engagement through critical creative practice’. Our researchers relate critically to social issues. They want to create awareness and have a social and artistic impact. That is why the six AHK research groups link their own research programmes to this overarching research agenda.
