RYR
Project
Rock Your Research
Rock Your Research (RYR) is an innovative initiative aimed at transforming Higher Education Institution (HEI) spaces into hubs of social value and knowledge exchange. By fostering interactions between artists, researchers, and citizens, RYR enhances HEIs' Third Mission through structured yet flexible methodologies.
Key components of RYR include:
Rock It Cafes: Spaces for transdisciplinary dialogue
Rock It Map: A visualization tool for existing resources and collaborations
Rock It Labs: Collaborative spaces for small-scale artist-researcher projects
Through these activities, RYR aims to enrich the art-science nexus, make scientific knowledge more accessible, and contribute to the development of inclusive societies. The project ultimately seeks to maximize engagement impact and advance the strategic approach to Third Mission in higher education.
