ELIA Academy 2025 in Norway – invitation for students
European higher arts education network ELIA invites students to be part of the conversation at ELIA Academy 2025. It is hosted by Kristiania University of Applied Sciences in Oslo, Norway on 18 – 20 June. Travel and accommodation bursaries will be provided for all successful student applicants.

This is your chance to share your reflections and provocations to help reimagine the future of arts education from a student’s perspective.
Share your research, works-in-progress and emerging ideas in a collaborative space where they can be explored, challenged, and developed together with your international peers.
ELIA is looking for student-led contributions that:
- Use creative formats such as performances, interactive sessions, or storytelling to engage participants.
- Extend exploration beyond the classroom by connecting education with real-world experiences, industries, and communities.
- Spark discussion through works-in-progress, bold new ideas, or dilemmas that need rethinking.
Student-led submissions should align with the theme, format requirements, and criteria outlined in the main Call for Contributions (PDF) .
Deadline for student-led contributions is 20 March 2025.
