Research at the HfM Dresden
At the Dresden University of Music, researchers and artists collaborate in a unique way; innovative research projects and informed, well-founded teaching are intertwined. Science and art are not opposites, but rather mutually dependent and enriching – from dissertations and postdoctoral theses to large, often interdisciplinary research projects with numerous staff members and international partners.
For many years, the HfM Dresden has been particularly strong in research and external funding. Historical and aesthetic approaches, cognitive and corporeal dimensions, individual perspectives, and societal relevance are all topics addressed in funded research projects. The HfM Dresden supports promising external funding applications, including those from external researchers, with seed funding.
