Impressions from Our Diary

Abstract

From MA course modules to international conferences, from workshops and social events to a university exercise in the professional practice of an art historian: the Swiss Institute for Art Research (SIK-ISEA) provides a broad spectrum of activities, both in-house and in association with other institutions. This makes the Institute a significant hub in the network of art scholarship and a partner in Switzerland’s higher education landscape. It offers a forum for the exchange of expertise and the evaluation of new findings, and is open to experienced specialists and junior academics alike. SIK-ISEA’s hospitality serves important aims: forging contacts, both in close-knit groups and with a broader public, fostering friendly exchange, and responding to ideas as they emerge from the work of the research community.
