The University as a Cultural Actor: Perspectives from Various Angles

University of Montpellier – Student Union – Richter Campus.

Cultural activities at universities are an integral part of the core missions of institutions of higher education.

As an integral part of the cultural landscape, it complements the policies implemented by local governments and cultural organizations in the region. Its distinctive features lie in its close ties to research, education, and the dissemination of knowledge. Its audiences are simultaneously its recipients, producers, and participants.

How is the practical implementation of these missions organized within institutions? What forms do collaborations take in universities? What are the opportunities—or, conversely, the obstacles—to coordinated action among departments? How is the cultural policy of institutions defined and put into practice, both on campus and in the local communities? How does culture enter the university? How does the university position itself as a cultural actor?

Join ADBU and A+U+C on May 20, 2022, at Richter’s MDE for a study day bringing together university cultural stakeholders to explore these issues.

• Admission to the event is free, subject to availability and upon registration.
