Integrated is a biennial international conference organised by St Lucas School of Arts Antwerp (Karel de Grote University College), ARIA/UA- Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (University of Antwerp) and the Royal Conservatoire (Artesis Plantijn University College Antwerp) in collaboration with deSingel international arts campus, FWO (The Research Foundation, Flanders) and Valiz Amsterdam.

The conference highlights the changing positions of designers, visual and performing artists, architects and scientists and examines how they can be the connecting actors in this restless and complex society. The conference aims to stimulate the development of new practices that, from political, social and environmental motives, create connections as a fundamental contribution to our society and the creative community.

Hugo Puttaert is the founder and conference responsible. He is professor graphic design and researcher at St Lucas School of Arts, Antwerp. Since 2017, Pascal Gielen, professor of sociology of culture and politics at the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (Antwerp University - Belgium) and Puttaert have been working together on the content of this conference.

Since the start of the conference in 2007, it has been a firm decision to rebrand Integrated at every edition, using a controversial campaign. The first four editions were designed by Studio Integrated, the next ones by Mirror Mirror.
