Today I attended the first meeting of the Presidium of the Forum for Practice-based Research. The cycle of Lectorates in the Arts asked me to represent them in this Presidium. The Forum intends to support and strengthen the profession of lectors (professorships in higher education) and the outcomes of their lectorates and research cycles. The Forum also wants to stimulate connections between the different domains of lectorates and wants to increase the impact in society of the lector. The focus is on the triangle research-education-professional field.
