The Hans Swarowsky Akademie, president Manfred Huss, was founded with the aim to research and promote the legacy and teachings of Hans Swarowsky through a wide range of initiatives: publication, also in foreign languages, of a revised and extended edition of Swarowsky’s writings (Universal Edition: Wahrung der Gestalt, edited by Manfred Huss), CD editions, academic initiatives, and the promotion of exceptional talent. The Akademie has a comprehensive archive of Swarowsky’s documents, such as annotated scores, typefaces, recordings and photographs which can be made available for research, and study purposes.
