Funding of the Pro Arte University Foundation

The Pro Arte University Foundation supports artistic and cultural initiatives at the University of Regensburg in Bavaria that operate at the intersection of science and art. Since its founding by Prof. Dr. Helmut Altner in 1994, it has provided grants for exhibitions, performances, readings, and seminars that interdisciplinarily build bridges between research and artistic practice. Special funding areas include art history, musicology, and literary studies, as well as student and faculty engagement in ensembles, theaters, and writing workshops. Funding is provided flexibly and continuously, allowing applications to be submitted digitally at any time. Both public institutions and private individuals are supported, with a focus on projects that sustainably enrich the cultural life of the university.

Applications may be submitted by professors and private lecturers at the University of Regensburg. A completed online application form along with personal login credentials (username and password) constitute the formal requirements. The straightforward and continuous allocation of funds aims to harmonize creative activity and scientific curiosity. Financial support creates space for interdisciplinary projects that promote university exchange on artistic and intellectual levels. Interested parties can submit their concepts at any time and thus contribute to the advancement of research, teaching, and cultural diversity at the University of Regensburg.
