The Angewandte during the Corona Semester

 
 
The University of Applied Arts Vienna has undertaken a variety of measures to keep the university running as best as possible under the current circumstances – in the sense of balancing security for all persons working/studying at the Angewandte on the one hand and continuing productive collaboration of all on the other hand. 
 
All relevant information regarding this matter has been gathered by subject as follows: 

Current Information from the Rectorate

workshops and studios During the Summer
So that students may carry out preparation or follow-up work, the workshops and studios offer unscheduled options of access this year while the guidelines of hygiene must of course be observed. You will find details regarding offers and opening times in this schedule
 
Studying in the Summer Semester 2020
All courses currently listed in the base Angewandte can be attended until the end of June in distance mode with sitting for the appropriate exams (ca. 95%). Restrictions primarily refer to the workshop/studio areas. 
 
Further information (access to buildings for the purpose of completing certain studies, exemption from tuition fees in case of financial hardship, "neutral semester",...) is available under: 
 
Information on distance teaching
In order for teaching to continue as best as possible even without a physical presence, information on corresponding strategies, software and good practice examples is provided on the temporary info page "Teaching". The page is constantly updated, suggestions for additional content are very welcome.

Research and base
The Zentrum Fokus Forschung and Support Art and Research continues all activities, digitally supported by the base applications. The whole team is at your disposal via email/telephone. Detailed information on the procedures (project submission, administration of ongoing projects, doctoral supervision, events) can be found here.
 
  


Events
All events with physical presence at the University are being cancelled without exception. Until further notice, any new or already booked events for the summer semester of 2020 will be rescheduled and take place in virtual rooms, whenever feasible. Room reservations are currently not possible. We wish to emphasize that events should not merely be cancelled or postponed until the autumn, but that digital tools for realizing events should be used wherever possible. This is not only important to make cultural and creative work visible during times of crisis, but also that we may continue to act as  an employer of artists, theorists, etc. Announcements of dates for digital events will be collected as usual under news@uni-ak.ac.at and published in the Angewandte Newsletter and on the website. In case of questions regarding the planning of virtual events via Zoom, we are happy to assist by email at veranstaltungen@uni-ak.ac.at.
 
Festival: 
The Angewandte Festival will be moved into the virtual realm and will take place as planned from 23 to 26 June 2020. There is ongoing detailed information regarding this matter; ideas can be presented within the context of its open meetings (every Wednesday, 15–16 hrs via Zoom) or directly addressed to lena.kohlmayr@uni-ak.ac.at.

Publications, Cooperations, Marketing
The department of Publications, Cooperations, Marketing continually develops new content and current information for the Angewandte website and the Angewandte Newsletter. The website content offered by the University has been enhanced and presents YouTube Videos in respect of courses, guest lectures and events at the Angewandte.
