+++ Study Information Days 2026 for many of our studies: all dates can be found in the event calendar! +++
The Institute for Gender Equality & Gender Studies at the Mozarteum University Salzburg awards prizes for outstanding student theses and qualification projects that correspond to the following understanding of scientific/artistic engagement in the fields of gender & queer studies, advanced feminism, and/or diversity studies.
Violence against women (and minorities) is omnipresent, firmly anchored in our patriarchal structures, and is one of the most widespread human rights violations. In order to increase the visibility of the numerous initiatives of the United Nations and other organisations in relation to this topic, the UN campaign ‘Orange the World’ (OTW) introduced a uniform, strong subject colour. In keeping with its mission as an educational institution with social responsibility, the Mozarteum University is also taking part in ‘Orange the World’ during the ‘16 days against gender-based violence’ (25 November - 10 December).
‘Reflections’ is a project that pursues an egalitarian approach to the development and exploration of the arts: works by female composers from earlier centuries that have been forgotten or overlooked, rarely heard or never heard in this country are reflected in the diverse musical languages of today's musicians.
The history of women at the Mozarteum University is not linear - it tells of pioneers and structural barriers, of new beginnings and persistent change and can be experienced in an exhibition from June 2 to 18.

Against oblivion: when Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944) looked back on her extremely productive life of some 400 compositions two years before her death, she seemed skeptical: "I hope not to be forgotten."
