Research Management
The Research Management at Mozarteum University supports academics in their research activities and networks the diverse agendas of academic and artistic research both internally and externally. Here, processes and procedures are coordinated and optimised and the visibility of internal university research is increased.
Research Management organises regular events, talks and mailings to provide information on calls for proposals, current developments and discourse in the national, European and international research funding landscape.
Fundings & Calls
The Research Management provides advice and support in the development and submission of applications for artistic-scientific projects, funding awards and research grants, acts as an interface to funding organisations and offers regular information on topics relevant to research and research funding.
University funding opportunities
Since 2019, the Research Management of the Mozarteum University has awarded an annual prize for artistic-scientific and scientific research projects. The target group is academically and artistically active persons at the Mozarteum University (teachers, researchers, alumnae & alumni, students) who are planning to implement a research project.
As part of the Mozarteum Research Competition, the best three applications will be awarded financial support for further development, and all suitable projects (after revision) will be proposed for submission to suitable funding bodies. The applicants will receive oral and written feedback from an international panel of experts as well as tips and suggestions for improvement for their third-party funding submission.
The maximum grant amount per project is €1,500. Applications are open to individuals who are currently employed by the Mozarteum University.
An application must include:
- A written description of the project and its relevance to research.
- An explanation of why the project cannot be funded, or cannot be fully funded, from other sources (e.g. via the departmental budget).
- A detailed justification of the costs applied for via the RFM (exclusively material, third-party and travel costs).
Submission:
Applications may be submitted at any time by email (addressed to eugen.banauch@moz.ac.at). Currently, the Fund’s resources are renewed annually; once the funds for a calendar year have been exhausted, applications may only be submitted again in the following year.
A maximum of two RFM applications per person per year are permitted. Selection is carried out by Research Management and requires the approval of the Vice-Rectorate. This applies in particular to projects for which funding commitments have already been granted from other internal sources at the Mozarteum University.
