Vienna (OTS)* – Austria's nine public and private music universities and conservatoires have reacted with disbelief and concern to the announced budget cuts, the questioning of existing funding models, and recent developments surrounding the higher education strategy. They warn that these measures put at risk the future of Austria as a nation of arts and culture.

Mozarteum University has recently marked ten years as a member of the Western Partnership for Teacher Education. Together with the University of Innsbruck, the University College of Teacher Education Tyrol, the University College of Teacher Education Vorarlberg and KPH Edith Stein, it prepares young people in Tyrol, Vorarlberg and South Tyrol for a career in secondary school teaching.

For four intensive weeks, Salzburg once again became an international hub for talented young musicians. Around 500 participants from all over the world took part in the Mozarteum International Summer Academy, working across 50 masterclasses, Young Excellence classes and numerous other programmes under the artistic direction of Hannfried Lucke. Alongside the tuition, public concerts by teaching staff and matinees featuring the prize-winners ensured packed houses throughout.

The Mozarteum University is distinguished by its leading research in the arts and music, which is rooted in creative and innovative practice in collaboration with partners in business and industry, and in its focus on tackling today’s global challenges.

Return to slider start With "With Dylan On The Road", the Mozarteum University, together with The International Society of Mozarteum University Salzburg, offers students of all disciplines the unique opportunity to go on a journey with a scholarship in their luggage to develop art projects inspired by Bob Dylan. An initiative of the Research Management Department Responsible for content and concept: Eugen Banauch About "With Dylan On The Road" invites students to rethink "university" and to engage in a discourse of artistic research, learning and doing with the polyartist Bob Dylan - outside their comfort zones. For the application, there were specifications regarding a limited duration of the trip, the form of the project submission and an invitation to submit an interdisciplinary idea. The rest: open. Following the successful first edition of "With Dylan On The Road" in 2022, the project inspired by the polyartist Bob Dylan will enter the next round in 2024. I was born very far away from where I'm supposed to be, and so I'm on my way home Bob Dylan (1941) is a musician, poet, filmmaker, producer and visual artist working in a variety of genres. His work has left its mark on all areas of global culture and has influenced and moulded artists in many different ways. Bob Dylan has received widespread attention for his work, which has absorbed, transcended and transformed existing forms, genres and conventions, and not just since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. We understand his work and biography as a "message in a bottle". This floats in the oceans of rock, folk, blues and pop and always in "old, weird America" (Greil Marcus) and invites us to engage in an inspiring dialogue within the framework of self-determined artistic creation. Having been "on the road" himself throughout his life, the study of this exceptional artist suggests extraordinary approaches. In the spirit of his "Never Ending Tour", which began in 1988, we therefore invite you to literally take to the road yourself and artistically explore aspects of his work and his life's journey. Students go on the journey themselves, because the artistic process is just as important as the work and the individual needs to enter into new worlds of experience. With Dylan On The Road 2 Nach der erfolgreichen ersten Edition von „With Dylan On The Road“ 2022 geht das vom Polyartisten Bob Dylan inspirierte Projekt in die nächste Runde. Im Frühjahr 2024 vergab die Universität Mozarteum wieder Reisestipendien für Bob-Dylan-inspirierte künstlerische und künstlerische-wissenschaftliche Teamprojekte, die ersten Teams sind bereits seit Mai 2024 „on the road“. Projekte 2024 Emma Ebmeyer & Bariş Özbük: „Unrooted“Was bedeutet Familie für dich und welche Rolle spielen dabei Bluts- und Wahlverwandschaften? Wir reisen von Salzburg nach Istanbul, wo ein Teil von Bob Dylans Wurzeln liegen und von dort aus zu unseren eigenen Familien. Auf der Reise möchten wir Menschen begegnen, um über das Verständnis von Familie ins Gespräch zu kommen. Roue: Salzburg - Istanbul Carina Jenewein & Hanna Steinlechner: „Echoes of Dylan“Wahrscheinlich kein Land wird so oft in Verbindung mit dem Instrument Harfe gebracht wie Irland. Für uns als Harfenistinnen übt dieses Land allein deshalb schon eine Faszination aus. Auch Bob Dylan galt als großer Bewunderer der irischen Musik und hat irische Volkslieder und Gedichte in seinen Songs vertont. Ähnlich wie er wollen wir uns auf die irische Volkskultur einlassen, irische Spielweisen und Besonderheiten kennenlernen, dokumentieren und in unser künstlerisches Schaffen einfließen lassen. Mit unseren Instrumenten im Gepäck begeben wir uns auf der grünen Insel auf die Spuren Bob Dylans! Route: Dublin – Kilkenny – Waxford – Galway – Cliffs of Moher – Dingle – Belfast - Dublin Alek Niemiro & Laura Trilsam: „Bob Dylan – Masters of War“Ausgehend von Bob Dylans Welttournee-Auftakt im Jahr 1978 in der Nippon Hall Budoka in Tokio begeben sich Laura Trilsam und Alek Niemiro auf eine Reise durch Japan. Auf dieser Reise soll ein Kurzfilm entstehen, der sich in Form assoziativer Bild- und Toncollagen mit der vielschichtigen Kultur Japans, seiner Geschichte und seinem Zeitgeist auseinandersetzt. Route: Tokio - Osaka - Noashima - Teshima - Hiroshima - Tokio Judith Musil & Rosa Schwarz: „textile shift“Judith Musil und Rosa Schwarz begeben sich auf eine Reise durch Skandinavien, um Antworten auf Fragen zu finden, die Bob Dylan in seinen Liedtexten stellt. Die Antworten werden in Form vom assoziativen Prosagedichten auf Stoffbänder geschrieben, verhäkelt und performativ gelesen – eine Verbindung von Text und Textil. Route: Kopenhagen - Göteborg - Oslo  - Bergen  - Stockholm - Malmö Nogati Udayana & Joseph Lang: „Is It All Over Now, Baby Blue? - Ein Song zwischen Seoul und San Francisco“Wir, Nogati Udayana und Joseph Lang, studieren Szenografie und Schauspiel an der Universität Mozarteum. Nach mehreren gemeinsamen Arbeiten wollen wir nun mit unserem Projekt „Is It All Over Now, Baby Blue? - Ein Song zwischen Seoul und San Francisco“ zwei Orte erkunden, die sowohl für die Politisierung von Bob Dylan und Joan Baez als auch für unsere Familien eine große Rolle spielen. Mittels ausschließlich analoger Technologien wollen wir unsere Reise dokumentieren und so einen multimedialen Song schreiben. Route: Seoul & San Francisco Clara Elixmann & Toni Ofner: „POWER UP“Das Projekt POWER UP beschäftigt sich mit Kunst als Protestmittel. Eine mobile Siebdruckstation wird Demoteilnehmer*innen in verschiedenen Städten als Werkzeug der Selbstermächtigung zur Verfügung gestellt. POWER UP trägt damit aktiv zum demokratischen Dialog bei. Route: Glasgow (Printstudio: Treffen mit Ros Lawless und praktische Auseinandersetzung) - Demonstrationen und Workshops in unterschiedlichen deutschsprachigen Städten, z.B. in Berlin, München, Wien und Salzburg Simon Kantner & Maurice Cazzoli: „Ecophonic Atelier“Ecophonic Atelier beschäftigt sich mit der Produktion einer audio-visuellen Performance. Die Reise nach Island dient hierzu als Inspirationsquelle für Soundscapes und generative Visualisierungen. Route: Umfahrung der Insel Johannes Brömmel & Jakob Schulte: „Something's happening, but you don't know what it is (Ballad of a thin man)“Ein Gefühl steter Ungewissheit, ein Portrait unserer Zeit. Wir stehen vor Veränderungen, welche niemand vorhersehen oder abschätzen kann. Wie lässt sich das einfangen? Wie lässt sich ein Narrativ, eine Erzählung, ein Bild finden, das uns hilft, einen Zugang, eine Fantasie zu entwickeln, über das, was bevorsteht? – Wie lässt sich eine neue Folklore, eine neue „Mythologie“ schaffen, die unserer Zeit gerecht wird? Und: Wie und wieso funktioniert das in Japan? In einer 5-wöchigen Reise – durch die ländlichen, unscheinbaren Orte – sammeln wir Informationen, Video- und Audioaufnahmen von Tempeln, Paraden, Gedenkfeiern und schlichten Alltäglichkeiten, um verschiedenen traditionellen wie zeitgenössischen Umgangsweisen mit Folklore zu begegnen. Aus diesen gesammelten Eindrücken entsteht eine installative Performance, in der mythologische Wesen und Figuren durch Schauspiel, Tanz, Musik und Video auf unsere Zeit aufschlagen. Route: Osaka - Kyoto - Sapporo Chiara Gruber & Susanne Schimmerl: „Do(nt) look back“Unser dreiteiliges Projekt „Do(nt) look back“ beschäftigt sich anhand von Straßeninterviews mit der Präsenz Bob Dylans Schaffen und Person in der heutigen Gesellschaft. Durch Interviews werden Melodien gesammelt, die zu einer gemeinsamen Audiospur verbunden werden, zu der durch Eindrücke der Reise auch ein Musikvideo entsteht, sowie ein Cover aus Zeichnungen, die in den Interviews entstehen, die die Reise und somit das Projekt abrunden.

Archive With Dylan On The Road 1 - Projects With "Living Dylan's Mozambique", guitarists Felix Buschbeck and Angus Garway-Tempelman set off on a journey to Mozambique. They explore African rhythms and integrate them into percussive fingerstyle playing to create their own Dylan-inspired content. NEVERENDINGARTIST (Isabella Heigl, painting and Agustín Castilla-Ávila, music): "We want to facilitate the understanding of transdisciplinarity and propose our own classification based on our artistic practice: according to who practices which discipline with which objects." "... even the birds are chained to the sky." Disguised as a road movie, this free-form documentary by Magdalena Hofer and Samuel Obernosterer compares the utopian ideas inscribed in society with Dylan with an ever-approaching future. Based on Dylan's search for his homeland, encounters and exchange are the central driving force behind Elena Lengauer and Leonie Lindinger's journey. They immerse themselves in Bob Dylan's reception and points of contact in South America. Their impressions can be experienced visually as a video essay and pictorial-photographic-linguistic diary excerpts. Gerlinde Radler and Monika Eliette Jandl are travelling to Spain as the duo CORIMEJ with "Blowin' in the Wind" in a VW bus and an organically growing, experimental exhibition format. They collect messages from artists of all genres and bring a piece of zeitgeist back home. Lara Schnepf and Lukas Stangl hike through Normandy: "There are 357 kilometres, old railway tracks, coastal paths, the sea and two pairs of "Boots of Spanish Leather" between the start and end point. What happens in between and where do we end up?" Paulina Maike Strobel and Alina Hausmann use "The Times They Are A-Changin'" to ask themselves how they can take an artistic stance on current socio-political issues such as the climate crisis. They visit places where major climate policy conflict issues manifest themselves. Antigoni Baxe and Zuzanna Wężyk are also devoting themselves to Dylan's song "Boots of Spanish Leather": "In Spain, we want to find out how culture has influenced Dylan's music and bring his work to the classical guitar stage." "Never mind mummy (we're just bleeding)": Inspired by Dylan's all-absorbing gaze, Carla Schmutter and Henry Schlage want to poetically process their own experiences in an evening of theatre that invites the audience to find reflective sympathy with a world in which they themselves are at home.

The experience gained abroad is a valuable asset for both professional and personal development. Following a successful application to the European Commission, the Mozarteum University Salzburg was awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education for the full period of the programme (2021-2027); the Mozarteum's "Erasmus Declaration on Higher Education Policy" can be read here. The charter entitles the holder to participate in all activities under the EU Erasmus+ programme, including participation in the mobility scheme for students and staff wishing to complete a teaching stint or professional development activity abroad. Find out more about Erasmus+ Supplementary Certificate in International Affairs Interdisciplinary Supplementary Certificate in International Expertise © Ana Barros Fundings & Ausschreibungen Mehr erfahren General information International Education Policy at the Mozarteum University In an era of an increasingly integrated European Union, where internationalisation and globalisation are more than idealistic visions and a common European educational area is becoming a reality, educational institutions are called upon to step up and invest further in cooperative projects at both national and international levels. Thanks to its geographical position along the North-South axis, a crossroads of cultures since the 8th century, Salzburg has always maintained close contact with European cities and cultural centres beyond national borders. The idea of a united Europe has a centuries old tradition in Salzburg. Salzburg’s most famous son, W.A. Mozart, undertook tours to cities such as London, Paris, Milan, Naples and Prague, thus enriching the musical life of his home town by introducing cosmopolitan flair. This international mindset continued into the following century with numerous music festivals, reaching a new level with the founding of the Salzburg Festival in the 20th century. Salzburg opened its gates not only to its European neighbours, but to the world, strengthening connections and furthering artistic exchange. Internationality is also woven into the fabric of the Mozarteum University. Students from a wide range of countries take the opportunity to train at an institution that has brought renowned artists from around the globe to its faculty. These teachers not only pass on their skills and artistry with dedication, but also play an active role in cultural life worldwide as artists, teachers and jurors. In doing so, they help build connections with other cultural institutions at both European and international levels, fostering cooperation within the Erasmus+ programme and beyond. Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) Erasmus+ Policy Statement Mobility is an inherent aspect of the arts and life as an artist, with its importance reflected in many areas of activity at the university. The Mozarteum University views international mobility as a natural element of academic life. Experiences abroad allow students, early-career researchers, faculty, and non-teaching staff to gain knowledge and develop their skills. The Mozarteum University Salzburg is therefore committed to actively encouraging students and staff to take part in mobility projects, with the aim of making study or work abroad a firmly established norm. Through the Erasmus+ Programme, our institution maintains partnerships across Europe that would not be possible at this scale without EU support. We believe all students, regardless of socio-economic background, should have access to high-quality educational opportunities. The new generation of the Erasmus+ Programme enables the Mozarteum University Salzburg to introduce new incentives for participation in Erasmus+ mobility (including for people from underrepresented backgrounds). The introduction of ‘Blended Mobility’ and short-term mobility options ensures that students who work alongside their studies are also given the chance to experience study and life abroad, and we hope this will lead to an increase in student participation in mobility programmes at the Mozarteum University Salzburg. Internationalisation strategy and Erasmus+ The Mozarteum University Salzburg is already highly international in both its makeup and outlook. Over 70 countries and five continents are represented within our 2000-strong student body. Our teaching faculty is similarly cosmopolitan, with our 550 members of staff being drawn from 38 countries across three continents. In the performance agreement period 2019-2021, the Mozarteum University Salzburg rose to place 11 in the “QS World University Ranking“ (by subject), up from 52nd place in 2018. The university is constantly striving to improve its international standing, and has taken numerous measures to this end. Thus the International Summer Academy at the Mozarteum University Salzburg has, over its 100 year history, established a worldwide reputation for itself, as is testified by the high number of applications it receives each year from highly talented musicians year on year. The biennial International Mozart Competition, whose final is regularly streamed by Austrian national broadcaster ORF, is firmly established in the top league of international competitions. In recent years, the Mozarteum University Salzburg has significantly expanded its active participation in key international networks, thereby taking on a role in shaping the global educational landscape in the arts. The Development Plan for 2022–2027 also envisages the introduction of several degree programmes with an international dimension, aiming to further strengthen internationalisation in teaching and learning. System Objective 6 of the GUEP 2022–2027 and Chapter VI of the University Mozarteum Salzburg’s Development Plan for 2022–2027 provide a detailed outline of the vision and strategic directions for internationalisation. The Mozarteum University Salzburg has identified six targets that are closely linked to the Development Plan: Raising the international presence and profile of the university as a whole Continuing the development of degree formats Promoting awareness, discourse, and active participation in shaping international quality standards in research, the advancement and appreciation of the arts, and teaching Mobility as an extension of students’ and teachers’ range of experience Dialogue between cultures Internationalisation at home The ERASMUS+ Programme plays an important role in achieving these goals. The themes of mobility, as well as “dialogue between cultures” and “internationalisation at home,” are reinforced by the programme, since mobility – in the form of bilateral exchanges with partner institutions – also supports on-site internationalisation. The Mozarteum University Salzburg is committed to participating in Erasmus Key Action 1 (KA1) – Learning Mobility of Individuals. Existing forms of mobility should not only continue but be further strengthened (study periods abroad, Erasmus+ mobility for teaching and non-teaching staff). The process will also be increasingly digitised through the introduction of Online Learning Agreements and the European Student Card. The new Erasmus generation also enables the Mozarteum University Salzburg to broaden its range of collaborative projects with global partners and launch new initiatives. The Mozarteum University Salzburg aims to fulfil the goals of the new programme by taking the following steps: Promoting the use of eco-friendly methods in all activities related to the programme Creating incentives for people from disadvantaged communities to participate Implementing the programme’s digitalisation measures Encouraging participants to get involved in activities within the wider community before, during, and after their stay Aims and Purposes For the performance agreement period 2022-2024, the Mozarteum University Salzburg set itself the following goals: To increase the number of regular students enrolled at the Mozarteum participating in an international mobility programme (outgoing students) To increase the number of students enrolled at other universities welcomed at the Mozarteum through an international mobility programme (incoming students) Additionally, short mobility schemes for students wil be promoted, with the introduction of blended intensive programmes helping to increase the number of student mobilities at the university and enabling students to gain valuable learning experiences abroad. Regular evaluation of mobility activities (for both students and staff) will be carried out to ensure quality control. The partnerships maintained by the Mozarteum University will also continue to be reviewed regularly. One example of a mobility project currently in development is a project on artistic work with the theme “On the Move,” which offers a travel scholarship, network support, and the opportunity to give a presentation at the international Bob Dylan Symposium. In order to support and encourage mobility, the Department of International Affairs underwent a restructuring in 2021, which included the creation of new staff positions. The extension of the regional mapping project, planned for the performance agreement period 2022–2024, into international cooperations is intended to strengthen services, improve the orientation of mobility and enhance the quality of international partnerships. Another measure in the area of mobility for the 2022–2024 performance agreement period is the planned relaunch of the Mozarteum University Salzburg website. This will go hand in hand with a redesign of the “International Affairs” section, so that information about mobility and exchange programmes for students and staff is presented in a more intuitive way. An additional goal for this performance agreement period is to advance the internationalisation of teacher training and to increase mobility opportunities for instructors in teacher training programmes. The Development Plan 2022–2027 will also give details of structural measures that have been conceived to further project-related student mobility that is independent of ERASMUS. Further points for discussion include the development of mobility windows, the structural anchoring of cooperations, the special case of Brexit in the context of university mobility, and the quality management of international activities. With regard to the goal “Internationalisation at Home,” the goals for the performance agreement period, as detailed in the Development Plan 2022–2027, are as follows: Exploring the repertoire of a particular culture in detail Multilingualism in concert performances Cultivating contact with consulates and embassies, providing students for concert performances in order to realise joint cultural programmes Offering courses and access to research findings in the academic field Music and Migration International Networks The Mozarteum University Salzburg is a member of the following networks and organisations: AEC - Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen Erasmus+ - Bildungsprogramm der Europäischen Union Nationalagentur Erasmus+ Bildung Bologna-Prozess ELIA - The European League of Institutes of the Arts EUA - European University Association Forum Internationales der Österreichischen Universitätenkonferenz OeAD - Österreichische Agentur für internationale Mobilität und Kooperation in Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung ASEA-UNINET - ASEAN-European Academic University Network EURASIA PACIFIC UNINET Mitos21 E:UTSA European Platform for Artistic Research in Music (EPARM) European Textile Network (ETN) Salzburger Hochschulkonferenz (SHK) Cooperations and partnerships Personen Skip slider Nadine Story Nadine Story Department management Service department management Employee Sara Johanna Bahmou Employee Caroline Maria Hasenschwandtner Caroline Maria Hasenschwandtner Employee Elisabeth Zelch Employee Jump to slider start
