Testimonials of the jury / expert group

"When reading and discussing the course proposals, I realized how special and not to be taken for granted a place like the Angewandte is for the development of experimental and multidisciplinary teaching formats." (Adnan Balčinović)

"Artistic and academic research-led teaching that challenges its boundaries institutionally and substantively is also methodologically inspiring and imaginative in the best sense of the word - such initiatives require attention." (Alexander Damianisch)

"The commitment of all applicants allowed us to get to know projects that combine creative and fresh ideas with new forms of mediation. I am excited to see how interdisciplinary positions will merge here." (Alexandra Graupner)

"The large number of submissions shows that a wide range of impressive concepts for innovative transdisciplinary teaching would be at our fingertips. Universities urgently need to create the appropriate structural framework." (Katharina Gsöllpointner)
