About BICCS

The Biennial International Conference for the Craft Sciences (BICCS) aims to expose the breadth of topics, source material, methods, perspectives, and results that reside in the transverse field of craft sciences.

The conference provides a platform for communicating craft research beyond the borders of faculties and disciplines. Through the collaboration with the Gothenburg Research Infrastructure in Digital Humanities (GRIDH), the conference provides multimodal communication to better elicit the performative and material nature of craft research. The Craft Laboratory's film team helps craft researchers document exhibitions and performances presented on site.

The extended abstracts are reviewed and published on the BICCS portal, and a selection will be developed into full papers and included in our FORMAkademisk journal proceeding.
