‘Designing Voices for Our Lives’ - at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka! The Mozarteum University invites students to participate in a unique choir project that will culminate in a special concert on 23 May 2025 at the World Expo in Osaka, Japan.

From the very beginning, the 'World Exhibition' fascinated visitors with its overambitious plan to stage the 'world' and its present in a limited space in one place within six months. An endeavour that challenges the superlative in all its facets: conceptually, logistically and financially.

The next World Expo will take place in Osaka from 13 April to 13 October 2025. The ambitious motto points to the future and should be at the centre of a project involving a trip (max. one week), a trip to Osaka for EXPO 2025. Interdisciplinary tandems from the university location Salzburg are cordially invited to develop project ideas and apply for the travel grant.
