Shared Campus – Open Call for Transcultural Collaboration

Transcultural Collaboration is a unique international semester programme in the arts and design, and a cooperation between Shared Campus partner institutions in Asia and Europe. 30 BA and MA students from all arts and design disciplines have the chance to explore Zurich, Taipei, and Singapore, collaborating on experiments with open outcomes.

The programme is divided in three parts: a 4-week stay in Zurich, a 9-week stay in Taipei and a 2-week field trip to Singapore. The core programme is dedicated to practice-based collaboration and teamwork between the participants in changing constellations. 

An annual semester topic and a related lecture series serve to focus debates and provide a framework for practical experimentation. The programme is complemented with additional inputs by guests, excursions, and workshops. Participants receive close support from selected faculty from all partner institutions, as well as from independent artists and experts from various arts and design disciplines. 

The semester includes a symposium in Singapore and a public presentation in Taipei.
