oa Artistiek onderzoek als een integrerende kracht: Een kritische blik op de rol van het masteronderzoek aan de Nederlandse conservatoria

In the aftermath of the Bologna process, most conservatories in Europe spent considerable effort on the integration of research in their curricula. In this article , Paul Craenen reflects upon what has been achieved in recent years, but most of all speculate about what is yet to come. His focus will be on current approaches to research at Dutch music conservatories and is in particular inspired by recent curriculum reforms at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, where Craenen holds a position as a research professor. However, he hopes that these reflections will have relevance for other countries as well, despite differences in educational cultures and research policies.
