Publication projects at the Angewandte
The Publications department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna is responsible for the conception, supervision and implementation
of publication projects in the fields of art, design, architecture, research, and science. It supports authors and editors
at the university throughout the entire publication process – from content and formal conception to editing and design to
production and distribution.
A central focus is the Edition Angewandte, an internationally renowned book series established in 2007 in cooperation with the De Gruyter Brill publishing group, which
publishes anthologies, monographs and project documentation from various departments of the university. Edition Angewandte
is regarded as an established platform for high-quality and relevant publications at the interface between art and science.
It is published in German and English and is made available to a wide readership through a national and international distribution
network.
In addition, the department also supports publications with other publishing houses or within the university's own framework.
Overall, it acts as an important interface between artistic and scientific work at the university and the national and international
publishing landscape, and contributes significantly to the visibility of the Angewandte's research and teaching achievements.

Outreach & Events
The Publications department complements its activities with a diverse range of outreach events in various formats, such as
book presentations, panel discussions, and readings
In particular, the GEFÜHLTE FAKTEN discussion series, launched in the 2025/26 academic year in collaboration with the Institute of Language Arts, contributes
to initiating and continuing interdisciplinary discourse both within and outside the university and to promoting sustainable
synergies
In addition, the first Angewandte Open Access Awareness Day was held in 2025 by the Publications Department in collaboration with the Library and the Support Art and Research. Now an
annual event, it is dedicated to the topic of Open Access, aims to raise awareness of its use and discuss related needs, wishes,
and ideas in a concentrated form. Based on this exchange, long-term strategies and measures for the further development of
Open Access at the University of Applied Arts are to be developed.
