What happens at the interface of science and art?
What sort of exciting things occur when scientists
and artists meet? In answering these questions, the
research focus area ‘Science and Art’, a cooperation
between the Paris Lodron University Salzburg
and the University Mozarteum Salzburg, leads the
way.
Indeed, in a town like Salzburg, with its long musical
and scientific tradition, the teaching of science and
art in tandem seems both logical and a continuation
of such a tradition. For this reason, five research
programmes have been established: ‘Arts & Humanities,
‘Arts & Festival Culture’, ‘Arts & Aesthetics’,
and ‘Contemporary Arts & Cultural Production’, as
well as the research platform ‘Salzburg Music History’.
All of the programmes offer a comprehensive
curriculum in addition to a broad range of symposia
and workshops, many of which are open to the
public.
The doctoral programme ‘Art & the Public’, which
is incorporated into the ‘Science & Art’ focus area,
has organised a large number of events and thus
brought practical research closer to an interested
audience.
In addition, the focus area ‘Science and Art’ offers
students of both Universities the opportunity to participate
in a number of supplementary and elective
courses which explore that interface where the arts
and science meet.
This brochure will provide clear and detailed information
about the complete teaching curriculum,
and we invite you to take advantage of the extensive
range of research which takes place in the focus
area ‘Science and Art’.
