No University. Center for Advanced Studies
- Partner(s): Academiehuis Grote Kerk Zwolle, Coolwater
- Financier(s): Joint Venture No University
- Started in: January 2022
No University is an international community of non-conformist artists, makers and scientists, working together on inter-disciplinary, multi-level, non-reductionist research and experiments related to the important societal challenges of the next decades: sustainability, equitability and resilience.
This experimental project is centered around the need for a new form of higher education, hosted by a University of the Arts (ArtEZ), that contributes to a sustainable, equitable and resilient society. This new form of higher education will be positioned as a ‘Center for Advanced Studies’ where scholars can work on themes on a system level, funded by fellowships. The No University - Advanced Studies Community started to be operative in January 2022 in a collaboration between WO, HBO and MBO in Zwolle.
