Excursions will be made to Ghent, Bruges, Ostend, Brussels, Paris, Namur and Antwerp.

Target group

Participants have a master's degree or are PhD-student, junior curator or restorer and they are specialised in Belgian Fin de Siècle Art. The master's degree was earned maximum 10 years ago.

Course aim

The aim of the Summer Course is to bring to Flanders, annually, a select group of 20 national and international, highly qualified young researchers. They are presented with an intensive 11-day programme of lectures, discussions, and visits related to a specific course theme within Flemish art. This theme varies annually, with a focus each year on a different art-historical period.

The Summer Course provides the participants with a clear insight into the Flemish art collections from the period at hand, as well as into the available and most suited research methods, the state of the research and the research needs. We expect active participation from the participants, with a discussion following each lecture.
