The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) is about to launch a funding program for artistic research.
I have been invited to participate at an artistic research symposium on May 13th at Institut für Elektronische Musik und Akustik in Graz in May, and it will be interesting to learn more about this. This kind of program is sorely missing for further development of BEK. The Norwegian art and music educational institutiosn within higher education are lobbying for a similar program to be established in Norway, but I am unsure whether BEK as a smaller and independent not-for-profit foundation would be eligble to receive funding for artistic research projects from such a program.
