AR-Pilot: Call for Artistic Research Projects at the mdw
For the fourth time, the mdw in 2024 has invited applications for internal funding for pilot projects in the field of artistic research. A total of € 20,000 are available for innovative research projects clearly demonstrating the use of appropriate artistic research methodology and serving as pilots for potential third-party funding applications, especially within the framework of the FWF's PEEK programme. Preference will be given to projects leading to prospective publications (e.g. in the Research Catalogue), as well as to transdisciplinary and collaborative projects.
All members of the mdw, in particular emerging artists and early-stage researchers, including (PhD or Doctor Artium Program) students, are eligible to apply. Projects should be implemented within the course of twelve months. Up to € 5,000 are available for each successful application.
Selection criteria
• Artistic and theoretic quality (considering a third-party funding application)
• Artistic-scientific and/or social relevance
• Feasibility of the project (within one year)
Selection procedure
Successful applications will be determined by an interdisciplinary jury of internal and external experts under the direction of Prof. Johannes Kretz. Final decisions are expected to be announced by the end of May 2024.
Application documents
• project description and timeline (max. 3 pages)
• short CV and a list of relevant publications, artworks and other achievements (max. 2 pages)
• Cost Calculation (in tabular format)
Applications must be submitted by 21.04.2024 to forschungsfoerderung@mdw.ac.at with the subject “AR-Pilot application”.
Eligible costs
All direct costs (staff, equipment and travel costs, subcontracts, and other substantiated costs) in connection with the implementation of the project as well as the presentation and publication of results are eligible for funding. Co-financing through personal or third-party funds is possible. Payments are to be made directly through the respective department or the Artistic Research Center.
Reporting
A final report must be submitted within three months of the end of the project, together with a breakdown of costs (in tabular form) and a comparison of planned and actual expenses. If applicable, funding recipients are required to store open access materials in the publication platform pub.mdw or publish it in the Research Catalogue. Other outputs (videos, audios and other research data) are to be deposited in the mdwRepository for long-term preservation purposes.
