Research platforms

Konstfack's research platforms are networks where researchers collaborate across disciplinary boundaries. Together, they explore shared themes and develop new knowledge.


The research platforms at Konstfack are hubs for creative collaboration and a foundation for applying for external research funding. Researchers, educators, and doctoral students come together to pursue joint projects.

The platforms are meeting points for artistic and scientific perspectives, while opening doors to valuable external collaborations. Unlike the research areas, the platforms are not tied to specific departments, making them cross-disciplinary and innovative centers for knowledge development.
