At the beginning of November, Magdalena spent a week in Vienna as part of the “Young Researchers in Vienna – 2nd Edition” program. Her stay in the capital of the former Habsburg Monarchy provided an excellent opportunity to explore the University of Vienna’s library resources. Still, the highlight of her visit was a research lecture in the Department of Slavic Studies at the University of Vienna, during which Magdalena presented the theoretical and methodological framework of her doctoral work and shared a case study on the painting of Jesus in Liberec. The presentation sparked a lively discussion with students, faculty members, and guest listeners — in English, Polish, and Czech. This time in Vienna was exceptionally productive and inspiring, offering valuable feedback and new ideas for the next stages of her research.
The visit was made possible thanks to the support of the Polish Academy of Sciences Scientific Station in Vienna and the Department of Slavic Studies at the University of Vienna, represented by Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Stefan-Michael Newerkla.
