Exactly 20 years ago, a Senate was elected for the first time at the Mozarteum University. In 1998, the then Mozarteum University became an art university, and the structure of its governing bodies changed. The entire college, which included the heads of all departments (then: departments), became the University College and later the Senate.

A university thrives on committed individuals who, in addition to their artistic, scientific or pedagogical competences, also contribute to organisational processes. Through their participation in committees, they shape the studies at our university, influence the appointments of lecturers, or bear responsibility in the process of electing the rector.

"The Mozarteum in distress", "Help us - a cry of distress from the Mozarteum" - headlines like these characterized Salzburg's press coverage in the spring of 1921. After four years of war, during which it had been possible to maintain the teaching activities of the young conservatory, the Mozarteum was on the brink of extinction.
