About Research at the Academy
Artistic research and the development of the arts (artistic practices) are essential for the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, both in terms of research-guided teaching and in the context of third-party funded projects in collaborative teams, where the research can be realized outside of the daily routine and within explorative and experimental arrangements. Acquiring funding from third parties is especially important, since the university is able to provide only a part of the necessary resources from its operative budget; it is not able to afford complete financing of the projects.
At the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the field of artistic research is of great significance alongside research into art theory and cultural studies, natural-scientific research such as materials research, color chemistry, and restoration and conservation. The Academy supports a whole series of artistic research projects and continually strives to expand the field.
Project research makes it possible to conduct indispensible basic research and thus makes an essential contribution to international art-research discussions. Project research also allows early stage researchers and their research achievements to be presented in a larger context. The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna strives to makes early-stage researchers more prominent in their fields of project research.
