Shared Campus Network

Initiated by seven art institutions, Shared Campus (SC) is a comprehensive cooperation platform for sustainable educational formats, research networks and co-productions.

Today, close cooperation between cultures and disciplines is essential for addressing issues of global significance. In particular the arts play an important role in this respect. Shared Campus establishes connections that create added value for students, academics and professionals and enable participants to share and pool knowledge and competencies.

The platform is designed along internationally relevant themes and issues, with a focus on transcultural issues and interdisciplinary cooperation. Currently, the network is coordinated by ZHdK.

Chair of the Shared Campus Management Team is Daniel Späti.
