The Arts & Culture Talk Show, hosted by the department of Arts and Culture Studies (EUR), has been a phenomenal success over the last four years. In the year of its fifth anniversary, the talk show will be back but with a new look, program, and editorial team as it will be organized under the broader umbrella of the Rotterdam Arts and Sciences Lab (RASL).
Starting in January 2018 RASL will host public events that are a co-creation between students and staff members of the various institutions. RASL Events will be a platform where art meets sciences and where art worlds meet and greet. For students RASL Events will serve as a platform where they can learn to be a player in the cultural sector and to get in touch with professionals working in the (Rotterdam) cultural sector and thus to broaden their social network; as well as that it will be a platform where students can talk about their own talents and artistic practices.
Rasl events: where art worlds meet and greet
Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), Codarts Rotterdam and Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam are collaborating more intensively and joined forces in the Rotterdam Arts and Sciences Lab (RASL). The goal of this collaboration is to, first, advance the exchange of knowledge on education and research. Second, to offer students the possibility to develop their skills in accordance with the changing artistic professional practices and societal issues.

We are looking for new editorial members to organize the following events:
