cohass_conf_img

This year, NTU School of Art, Design and Media is proud to be hosting the CoHASS Conference 2022 for graduate students, held across two days from 14 to 15 October 2022. Eminent professors, corporate leaders, industrial players, and distinguished conference attendees will be gracing this event, which will be the first held since 2019. 

It has been a challenge for academics to present their research during the past two years, even more for emerging arts, humanities, and social science scholars. The CoHASS Conference thus provides a free platform to showcase papers that are pertinent in this restless era.
