Starting with the student protests at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna – which lead to the occupation of parts of the Academy building on Schillerplatz on October 20 – resistance is stirring at Austrian universities. It is mostly directed against the implementation of a new curriculum system based on bachelor and master studies, but also more generally against business-oriented organisational structures, cuts, the erosion of the universities' automomy and a lot more.
We have visited the Audimax (major lecture hall) at the University of Vienna, occupied in the course of a demonstration on Thursday, and have interviewed some activists about the events and their claims.
