Open Lecture

What does it sound like in places that deal with illness and recovery? What do rooms in hospitals and doctors' surgeries need in terms of acoustic and atmospheric design? How can sounds promote well-being? With these questions in mind, we invite you to explore the world of Healing Soundscapes. Healing Soundscapes are health-promoting sound environments that are created under the influence of artistically and spatially designed Musical Soundscape Interventions (MSI). The Healing Soundscapes project develops and researches spatial sound interventions for sensitive hospital areas. The aim is to design the sound environment (the "soundscape") in such a way that the well-being of patients and staff in the rooms is improved.

The ligeti center in Hamburg-Harburg is a place of transdisciplinary collaboration where future topics are shaped and developed at the intersection of art, science and innovation. With the Open Lecture Series, we invite international experts to shed light on the topics of our various laboratories from different perspectives and discuss them with the audience.

Our lectures not only serve to exchange knowledge on a professional level, but also to share exciting findings with the world. We therefore invite all interested people to attend!
