Image+ will offer teachers at the participating universities as well as research institutions, artists, art teachers a comprehensive stock of high-quality digital image reproductions of artistic works, enriched with high-quality metadata and whose work information is scientifically secured.

Approximately 800 of the 1800 Mozarteum students receive pedagogical training. Accordingly, synergies between the departments involved are important, as they were created in 2012 by the School of Music and Arts Education (SOMA).

The public is invited to experience his masterclasses on October 14, 2019 in the Solitär and on December 9, 2019 in the Great Hall of the Mozarteum Foundation.

The students created the exhibition concept on their own and also wrote their own texts.

Zwischen(t)räume is a project by students and teachers of the study program 'Design: Technology.Textile' of the Mozarteum University, residents of the Strubergassensiedlung and the residents' service Lehen & Taxham.

The Knowledge Transfer Centre West has set itself the goal of sustainably intensifying and professionalising knowledge transfer through joint actions and measures, tapping into exploitation potential, deepening and broadening cooperation with the economy but also with society as a whole, pursuing transdisciplinary and innovative approaches and using possible synergies to achieve these goals.
