CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
We invite presentation proposals for the 2025 SibA Research Days with the theme of Ethics in Research and Artistic Practice.
The event is open to doctoral researchers, research staff, and students of Sibelius Academy and Uniarts Helsinki, as well as to researchers and practitioners outside Uniarts Helsinki with an interest in the subject.
The theme of 2025 SibA Research Days is ethics, conceived as broadly as possible – as something that we unavoidably encounter both in our work as artists and scholars, and as something that surrounds us embedded in the conventions, institutions and practices of art and scholarship. In research, there is no escape from ethics. The choice of theoretical standpoints and research methods is always informed by ethical guidelines and imperatives. Research always builds on earlier work, and thus acknowledging previous work of our colleagues is ultimately an ethical duty. Similarly, artistic practice always has ethical dimensions, represented, for instance, by the obligations and responsibilities that the artist is seen to have towards the audience, composer, collaborators, historical context – or his or her artistic self.
The 2025 edition of the SibA Research Days invites you to ponder your work, thinking and art-making from this point of view. However, rather than restricting the topics of presentations only into considerations of the ethical motivations / substance of your work, we also welcome proposals from all areas of artistic or scholarly research. In addition to more conventional presentations, we also welcome those that address acute questions, problems, surprises and discontinuities that you have encountered in your work. All this contributes to fruitful dialogues, building of the scholarly community and well-being of critical thinking and research – none of which are to be taken for granted in today’s societal and political climate.
The seminar program will also include keynotes, expert panels, and a special networking visit to be announced. The languages of the Research Days are Finnish, Swedish and English.
Deadline for proposals is 27th of January 2025. See the details at
