PARADOX is an independent network of artists, curators, researchers and other academics involved in running and/or teaching Fine Art courses at University level^{[citation needed]} in Europe. It aims to provide information and a network for the European Fine Art Higher Education sector; to promote discussion, and sharing of information; to disseminate views from European Fine Art institutions and teachers to ELIA and other European Institutions; to discuss the implications and consequences of changes in Higher Education in Fine Art; to document developments in Higher Education in Fine Art across Europe.

The group doesn’t rely on funding or on membership fees, but on voluntary participation. In 2006 a Paradox steering group wrote the Tuning Document for Fine Art Higher Education in Europe^{[citation needed]}.

The paradox website is intended to offer an insight in to Fine Art Higher Education in Europe with information provided by artists, researchers and other academics involved in the delivery of Fine Art courses. The site also aims to support communication and to promote best practice and understanding of the different issues facing colleagues. The main sections of the site focus on representing Fine Art in Europe via an ‘Atlas’ of Fine Art higher Education; archiving and supporting European Fine Art Projects; linking to institutions and relevant sites; archiving relevant texts and papers.
