Technology and natural sciences stand for progress, economic growth, jobs and prosperity. With the joint TU Austria initiative, the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the University of Leoben (MU Leoben) are leading the way. Under the motto "feel. tech. europe.", we are setting standards in science and engineering teaching and research.
Founded in 2010, the initiative already brings together more than 46,600 students, 5,400 graduates and 11,200 employees. TU Austria is therefore a nationally and internationally important, well-connected and visible university forum. Together, the alliance pursues concerns in research, teaching and university policy issues.
TU Austria’s mission is focused on advancing the role and significance of Austria’s technical universities in national and international contexts:
- Excellence in Research and Education: We are the united technical power in research and education and offer skills and knowledge for future leaders.
- Innovation & Transfer: We drive (green) technological innovations and ensure that scientific discoveries are turned into innovation for industry and society.
- Collaboration & Interdisciplinarity: We are strongly committed to national and international collaborations with research organisations, industry and policymakers.
- Regional impact and sustainability: We contribute significantly to Austria´s and Europe’s competitiveness and have strong ties with our industry.
- Sustainability: At all levels we promote sustainability and link research with application.
