Application process:
We understand the In-residence program as a possibility to deepen the already started research. It is preferable that the research has a connection to the Joanneum Universal Museum, but it is not decisive for the selection procedure.
The selection procedure underlies mainly the choice of Wolfgang Muchitsch, director of the Joanneum Universal Museum, and Bettina Habsburg-Lothringen. If it is necessary other members of the Museum can be integrated in the selection procedure.
Application documents:
- Filled application form
- Curriculum vitae
- Projects´ Synopsis (maximum 3 pages)
- Letter of recommendation (optional)
Applications can be submitted at any time!
