LET'S TRANSFORM!

Art x Science School for Transformation OPENING EVENT

The Art x Science School for Transformation celebrates its kick-off event with exciting talks and get-together with food & drinks.

As a transformative force, creativity plays a pivotal role in driving artistic and scholarly discoveries forward. If we aim to address and tackle the complex nature of current transformation processes, we need to combine different perspectives, new creative approaches, and unconventional solutions. When it comes to solving problems, there is no single approach.

The new Art x Science School for Transformation, a joint undertaking between the JKU and the University of Applied Arts Vienna, seeks to explore this very space that allows art and science to merge and where students and faculty can explore unconventional approaches, transdisciplinary research, creating a space where innovative, forward-looking education can flourish.

The kick-off event of the Art x Science School for Transformation took place at the Open Innovation Center on October 17, 2024.

We were happy to have bestselling author Ulrike Herrmann at our launch ceremony! As part of her keynote speech, she outlined the new university concept and social design options. Afterwards, along with other guests, including higher education expert Channa Van der Brug and cultural manager Alexandra Graupner (head of the Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab), we discussed how we can build bridges to connect social transformation, transdisciplinary education, and artistic and scientific perspectives. Georg Hubmann, Co-head of the Art x Science School for Transformation in Linz, chaired the discussion.
