The aim of the summer course is to bring to Flanders, annually, a select group of 18 national and international, highly qualified young researchers. They will be presented with an intensive 10-day program of lectures, discussions, and visits related to the specific course theme within Flemish art. This theme will vary annually and will focus each year on a different art-historical period.

The aim is to provide 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, and therefore the discussion following each lecture will form an essential part of the program.

The first edition of the summer course titled The age of van Eyck in context will take place from June 21 through July 1 2015. Its content is coordinated by the Groeninge Museum and the Flemish Research Centre for the arts in the Burgundian Netherlands. The program will take place in Bruges, Ghent and Brussels. The language of the summer course will be English.

Participants have a master’s degree or are PhD-student. Participants are specialised in 15th century art form the Burgundian Netherlands.
