To strengthen the relationships with selected partners from the worlds of business, politics, education and culture, ZHdK has established an Academic Advisory Committee. The aim of this body is to give constructive support to ZHdK, provide advice and support on selected issues, in short, to commit itself to the education of budding artists, filmmakers, musicians, designers and theatre practitioners, to give input, to act as a sparring partner, and to open up networks.
