It was the 15th time that Außervillgraten in East Tyrol welcomed members of the University of Innsbruck to spend two days of intellectual exchange. This year’s sessions from 28th to 29th of November 2015 focussed on music. Participants were offered a diverse schedule – talks about neuropsychological perspectives of music research, altered states of mind, the scoring of images, and the history of yodelling as well as a workshop on multisensory music therapy and a varied children’s programme. The whole schedule was framed by performances by local choirs and brass bands. The research unit of Personality and Diagnostics contributed talks and workshops for adults as well as children.

More than 2,600 pupils from all over Tyrol visited the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Innsbruck on 6^th of November 2015 to join an exciting day full of science organised by the Young University, a task group to promote children’s interest in research. With more than 42 booths, children had the chance to give free rein to their curiosity and to dabble in sciences. The research unit of Personality and Diagnostics provided an opportunity for children to find out more about their musical perception skills.

On the 19th of October 2015, Dr. Gerhard Medicus presented his new book on the topic of "Interdisciplinarity of Human Sciences - The Perspective of Human Ethology".
