The worlds explored at the Department for Image Science cover the entire spectrum of image histories and futures being revolutionized in the digital age. Students acquire key qualifications for the contemporary creative and cultural sector through contact with original sources and leading institutions. Outcomes of our research projects benefit not only students but beyond to influence both global and local arts and academic communities. Danube University Krems—in the UNESCO World Heritage Wachau—is the first public University in Europe specializing in continuing university studies. The modernized seminar rooms in Göttweig Abbey in the section from the 14th century offers singular surroundings to learn and explore.

As repositories of knowledge and instruments of communication the importance of image media continues to grow in our globalized society. Images form both networks of societal cohesion and have the power to ignite political and religious passions. Images create values and are a core resource for elaborating and communicating new scientific theories. Today the dynamics of the media revolution is re-defining many issues that image science engages with. In almost every field practical and theoretical knowledge about how images originate, function, are exploited, their history and their effects is an essential prerequisite for acquiring image competence in the digital age.
