KUNO is a Nordplus network
comprising 17 Nordic Baltic Fine Art Academies, - an art university
without walls. By cooperating on a wide range of activities, the
member institutes commit themselves to the continued development of
higher fine art in the region.
The network organizes student- and teacher exchanges between
schools during three months, six months or a year. Within KUNO,
students are able to make shorter exchanges to participate in
projects in other art academies. KUNO divides the student mobility into either
placements, exchange studies or express courses. When you apply for
exchange studies you apply for one or two terms. Express courses
are announced throghout the term by the coordinator at the host
academy. They are open for all to apply (often with a motivation
letter). Finally, placements are when students apply to practical
training in an organisation, at a gallery, museum or some place
else lasting from one week up to a whole term. Depending on the
length of your mobility you have a chance to receive financial
support in the form of a monthly or weekly grant and a travel grant
coordinated by the KUNO secretariat who applies for funding through
the Nordplus Higher Education
programme.
