as well as supervision, student support, documentation and dissemination. Space permitting, MA students and others with an interest in
practice-based research may be able to attend much of the day. Booking is essential

Drawing on the expertise of Centre partners Central Saint Martins College of
Art and Design, University of the Arts London, and the Royal College of Art,
the programme will include two panels of artists and teachers who are involved
in research-based practice, and in the supervision of practice at research degree
level. Speakers include the video artist and curator Cate Elwes, now Reader
in the Moving Image at Camberwell College of Arts; television and radio producer
Susanna Capon, director of the Producing MA at Royal Holloway University of
London; Russell Celyn Jones, award-winning novelist and Professor of Creative
writing at Birkbeck; Dr Joran ten Brink, Reader in Art and Design and the University
of Westminster; artist Malcolm Le Grice, Emeritus Professor and formerly Head
of Research at Central Saint Martins; and the filmmaker Patrick Keiller, holder
of an AHRB Fellowship in the Creative and Performing Arts at the RCA.
The central session of the day will be an opportunity for students currently
engaged in practice-based research in the audiovisual or digital field to give
short presentations of their work and receive feedback from members of the panels.
Students registered at PhD level anywhere in the UK are eligible to attend and,
subject to time limits, offer a presentation. Registration is free but places
must be booked in advance (the application form can be downloaded here).
The organiser of the Training Day is Professor Ian Christie, in association
with Dr Mark Nash, Central Saint Martins, and A. L. Rees, Royal College of Art.
