hufak – ÖH Angewandte

The Austrian Student Union (ÖH) at the Universität für Angewandte Kunst (hufak) represents the interests of all students of Angewandte and represents you in committees, offers advice and organises events. Therefore, we are looking for new assistances in the departments Art&Theory and PR! 

The ÖH Angewandte (hufak) currently consists of about 15 persons. We work as a team as well as independently in the respective referats. In addition, the ÖH is represented in all committees of the university. Working at the ÖH gives you a good insight into university structures and allows you to get actively involved in politics. Bring in your visions, for a solidary university life and for better study conditions for all!

Solidarity with non-EU/EEA students

We stand in solidarity with Ramiro Wong and all non-EU/EEA students. Although the Angewandte has found an transitional solution for the winter semester 20/21, we need long-term solutions! The change in the tuition fee regulations poses acute financial and existential problems for students. These problems are not new to many, but accompany non-EU/EEA students throughout their entire studies. The fact that non-EU/EEA students have no free access to the job market as well as little or no opportunity to apply for grants and scholarships, further intensifies the precarious circumstances.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left art students with stretched resources, without access to workshops and studios, and with cancelled exhibitions and virtual degree shows. The arts and culture have found new ways through hyper digitalisation to mediate art to a non physical audience. With the new rules of conduct and restricted freedom of mobility, students have been forced to move inward, and to confront their inner thoughts and imagination in a new way. Despite all the negative effects, the pandemic allowed for much needed time to reflect critically on the capitalist economic structures and the exploitation of natural resources, which led to the outbreak of the virus and the global devastation that followed.

Wir, die Hochschüler_innenschaft an der Universität für angewandte Kunst (hufak) suchen Personen, Gruppen oder Kollektive, die den Studierenden unserer Uni Sportkurse, Bewegungseinheiten oder Körperarbeit anbieten wollen. Schickt uns hierfür Konzepte für das Wintersemester 2020/21 bis 31.08.2020! → vorsitzteam[at]hufak.net

Härtefonds für ordentliche Studierende der Angewandten, die durch COVID-19 Maßnahmen in eine Notsituation gekommen sind

Im Sommersemester 2020 könnt ihr noch bis 20.06. einen Antrag stellen.

Wir verlängern den Härtefonds allerdings um ein weiteres Semester!
Im Wintersemester 2020/21 kann von 01.09.2020 – 31.01.2021 eingereicht werden.

Durch die zahlreichen Veranstaltungsabsagen im Kunst-, Kultur- und Eventbereich sind Studierende an Kunstuniversitäten besonders betroffen von den COVID-19 Maßnahmen. Daher haben wir uns entschieden diesen Härtefonds einzurichten, um allen ordentlichen Studierenden der Angewandten eine weitere Unterstützungsmöglichkeit zu bieten.

Die Höchstfördersumme beträgt: 400€

Wir testen gerade ein „Virtuelles Office“, erreichbar unter: https://discord.gg/553D3fY

Jeden Mittwoch von 13h -14h werden ReferentInnen anwesend sein um eure Fragen zu beantworten oder über Ideen / Beschwerden zu reden.
