The Interface Cultures program has a strong international network of universities and institutions. Students are encouraged to spend time at one of Interface Culture’s partner universities in Europe, South America, Asia or Australia. Over the years the network has grown and many international guests from Japan, Europe and South America come to the Interface Cultures department at the Arts University Linz to carry out research and stay for anything from a month up to a whole year.
Lecturers from all over the world
The Network Talks feature lectures by professors from the international partner universities of the Interface Cultures program, who promote and provoke reflection on past and future trends in interactive art, interface design and education.
