PROFESSIONAL NETWORK

From the outset and continuing throughout the programme of study, our doctoral candidates will be offered a broad professional network through our cooperation with renowned Austrian and Swiss universities for co-supervision: the Paris Lodron University, Salzburg; the University of Art and Design, Linz; the University for Music and the Performing Arts, Vienna, and the Hochschule der Künste Bern, HKB. 

THE COMMUNITY:
PARL – PLATFORM FOR ART AND RESEARCH LINZ
NIKOLAUS HARNONCOURT CENTER

PARL – Platform for Art and Research Linz offers a variety of exchange and networking opportunities in the fields of art and research, knowledge transfer and research communication. With this series, our research community takes a look at the rich space that opens up between art and research.

Here, doctoral students meet international lecturers and artistic researchers through workshops, concerts and symposia. PARL also offers them the opportunity to present and discuss their own research in front of an audience of peers. The intensive exchange between purely academic fields and the discipline of artistic research opens up synergies for both.

Since 2023, Bruckneruni Linz is host for the Nikolaus Harnoncourt Zentrum (NHZ) in which the Harnoncourt's archive is made accessible to posterity by digitizing. The NHZ sees itself as a "torchbearer" of Harnoncourt's universal worlds of thought and dares to look at larger contexts of the development of the last centuries in order to venture an outlook on the future.
