The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities - a2ru

The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) identifies issues and trends in arts-integrative interdisciplinary research, curricula and creative practice, and addresses their institutional hurdles.

Whereas other organizations focus their energies on the nascence of interdisciplinary inquiry or insufficient funding for the arts, a2ru attends to the critical mass of arts-integrative interdisciplinary efforts that has already emerged and addresses the next generation of challenges they face.
