CfP: Research Networking Day 2022, CTM Berlin

Open Call for Proposals and Papers
Research Networking Day (RND) , CTM Berlin

Deadline: 10. October 2021

The Research Networking Day (RND) is an exchange platform for students and researchers from different graduate and postgraduate programmes traversing the fields of audio, arts, media, design, and related theoretical disciplines. This RND edition will take place in collaboration with the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), Paderborn University, and the German Association for Music Business and Music Culture Research (GMM).

The RND 2022 open call seeks innovative and critical submissions from all areas of study addressing the scope of CTM 2022’s Contact theme. We invite students and scholars to present their research at an international platform that provides a good opportunity to exchange with various colleagues and researchers working on related ideas. RND also provides a chance to share your research via audio/video after the festival via CTM’s Soundcloud and Youtube channels.

The selected candidates will give short presentations (10 min.) within different modules, linked by discussion rounds and completed by a closing discussion at the end of the day. Presentations should take place in English.

Special Conditions in Response to Covid-19
Please note that due to Covid-19, the scope and format of CTM’s 2022 edition, including RND, remain uncertain. Applicants should be prepared to submit a pre-recorded video of their presentation or to give the presentation online, in the case that an event with physical attendance is not possible. Applicants from outside the EU, especially, should be prepared to participate remotely, as travel restrictions may be tighter outside the Schengen zone. The CTM team continues to steadily navigate the context of changing restrictions, possible future regulations, and foreseeable policy changes. We will be in contact with successful applicants in November and December 2021 about further details on the event’s format.
