Successful grant applications |
In December 2011, the Austrian national research fund FWF approved Erica Bisesi’s application for a three-year stand-alone project entitled “Expression, Emotion and Imagery in Music Performance” (Ausdruck, Emotion und Imagination in der Musik) at the Centre for Systematic Musicology. |
The European Science Foundation (ESF) was funding an ESF Exploratory Workshop held at the Centre for Systematic Musicology on April 12-14, 2012. The workshop's topic was "Cognition of early polyphony: Bringing together humanities and sciences". |
The Centre for Systematic Musicology obtained funding by the Zukunftsfond Österreich in order to further develop recent activities in applied interculturality research. Said third-party funding will enable the Centre to employ a student assistent for one year. |
