DocSchool PhilKult Award goes to Freda Fiala

We are delighted to announce that OLFAC team member Freda Fiala has been awarded the inaugural DocSchool PhilKult Award of the University of Vienna for her doctoral research on Taiwan.

Three dissertation prizes were awarded, recognising outstanding scholarly achievement in the doctoral programme. 

Freda’s dissertation examines contemporary performing arts infrastructures in Taiwan, with a particular focus on institutional experimentation, cultural policy, and transregional networks. Developed at the University of Vienna, the project forms the basis of her forthcoming monograph and continues to inform her postdoctoral research within the OLFAC project at the University of Arts Linz.

We warmly congratulate Freda!
