3 Welcome!
Stockholm University of the Arts is delighted to welcome you to participate in CARD2 – Circus on the Edge, which is to be held on 9th until 11th December 2015.
CARD2 is an innovative international conference which is of strategic importance to Stockholm University of the Arts. The strong emphasis on artistic research is at the very core of Uniarts’ development - we welcome you to an enriching dynamic discussion which we anticipate will push the boundaries of what research in circus arts can be.
