Artistic Research in Current Institutional Discourses
Artistic research is currently a widely discussed topic at universities of music in Germany. Both content-related and institutional issues are being discussed. In this lecture, I would like to focus on institutional issues and challenges.These concern not only the question of how artistic and scientific doctoral programs differ, but also the question of how potential doctoral students in the artistic-scientific field are prepared for doctoral studies in their previous studies. In addition, the question remains as to how appropriate supervision of doctoral projects can be guaranteed in a field in which many potential supervisors from the artistic field do not have a doctorate themselves, or where the scientific supervisors are not necessarily artistic researchers. I would also like to speculate on what role artistic-scientific doctorates will play in the future when it comes to filling artistic teaching positions at universities.

From 2006, he taught music theory at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock, moving to the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg in 2018. After serving as vice president for studies and teaching, he has been president of the university since 2022.
