The aim of INTRA’s call and the
funding of new, in-house projects at the Angewandte is to learn to understand current issues in novel ways. With these nine
approved projects, INTRA will be offering support to important inter- and transdisciplinary fields within a broad spectrum
of artistic and scholarly methods. (“Scholarly” here refers to areas of established research complementary to the field of
artistic research.) All nine projects further exemplify the Angewandte’s many approaches and perspectives, its rigor, creativity
and commitment to the best in artistic research.
As the Angewandte’s Rector Gerald Bast has said:
“We are very pleased that once again and thanks to our culture of quality, the Angewandte’s approach to the external impact
of social challenges has come to fruition. This has been made possible by a new type of funding format, one without which
these special projects would not have been realised.”
The call was open from the end of May to the beginning of
September 2020. Twenty-four submissions were evaluated by the Programme Advisory Board on the basis of programme-specific
criteria, and the final decision was made by the university's Rectorate on the basis of a list of recommendations.
Social transformations need to be experienced and understood via new perspectives. INTRA and its funded projects contribute
to the methodical development of artistic and scholarly knowledge processes with regard to complex challenges in both society
and at the Angewandte. INTRA is committed to strengthening and supporting the Angewandte’s culture of dialogue, solidarity
and the exchange among researcher respectively colleagues. A next call for INTRA projects is planned for 2021.
