The City of Utrecht is respected as a city of knowledge and culture, thanks to a centuries-old university and numerous important festivals and performance podia. Guests from around the world often come to Utrecht to share their knowledge with the city and to have new experiences themselves. The series Residenties in Utrecht adds something new to this tradition.

At the request of collaborating Utrecht partners, an international guest can visit the city for a few days for exciting encounters in disciplines less-familiar to the guest. Scientists attend music festivals; a novelist engages in debate with university students; poets and politicians discuss free speech. These are just a few examples of what Residenties in Utrecht is.

Original thinkers and creative producers share their expertise in cross-border encounters. That is where Residenties in Utrecht is all about!

Residenties in Utrecht is a cooperation between organizations in the fields of education, culture and society. Around incoming international artists, a whole range of activities is being organized. Residenties in Utrecht started in 2015, with gradually a more intensified scope on education and the aim of developing the skills of young talent, in close cooperation with HKU, Hogeschool Utrecht, ROC Midden Nederland and Utrecht University. The series joins music, film and art with science and education, city-wide.

In the archive section of the website, you can read more about the Residenties that have been organized. New programmes will be announced in the Dutch section of the site.
