Foreword of the Rector
Dear colleague,
as the Rector of the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) I am
pleased to welcome you as new employee. Since 1991 I have already
been the Rector of the TU, which I have become fond of. Within this
period many things have changed.
In the past we were a so called “subordinated entity” of the Ministry
of Science. Nowadays we are an autonomous university. This means
that we bear the responsibilities for our activities on our own. The
same is true for the „human resources development“. We are an
organisation of experts and our success mainly depends on the skills
and on the commitment of our employees.
Useful information – put into the nice Anglicism “getTUknow” – can
be found under
http://www.tuwien.ac.at/fileadmin/t/org_koord/downloads/GetTUknow.pdf
and should support your good start at the TU Wien. I wish you good
luck and joy in your work at the TU Wien!
Peter Skalicky
Rector

Mission Statement
Technology for People
1. Vision
“Technology for People – Developing Scientific Excellence and Communicating Broad
Competence”
It has been a long tradition to rank among the top European universities in the field of Technology by
“first class research and teaching” and “acknowledged graduates required by industry and society”.
The TU Wien follows social requests in three ways:
First it has to be guaranteed that upcoming leading personalities and other academic professions in
industry, administration and science are educated according to number and skills subject to current
standards on a high level (communicating broad competence). This increasingly requires to
communicate additional skills (“soft skills”) besides technical skills (“hard skills”). Especially within the
applied subjects of the TU Wien both types of skills are in close relation to each other and thus must be
communicated together.
Second the task is to innovatively develop research – both with regard to technical specialisation and
interdisciplinary combination. The TU will assert its high standard and increasingly expand it by
concentrating its forces and intense networking. To ensure the intended development of the sciences,
an even closer relation between research and teaching will be developed and guaranteed (developing
scientific excellence).
Third it is not only about spreading findings of work in the scientific community, but – in view of the
increasing use of Technology – it becomes increasingly important to pass the findings on to society for
its own use. The TU Wien committed itself in particular to this target by its mission statement
“Technology for People”. In this connection the balanced portfolio of the TU Wien of basic and applied
subjects is of special importance.
To meet these high requirements, but also to prove their social importance, universities have to justify
their quantitative and qualitative achievements in an appropriate way. This is usually done within
evaluation and benchmarking procedures. Here, the opinion of the professional audience is of high
importance. In this regard, rankings might serve as an indication: The basic strategy of the TU Wien is a
consistent and consequent profile and differentiation in the European and global quality and innovation
competition.
2. Research (“Developing Excellence”)
In contrast to the rather applied “Fachhochschulen” research at the TU Wien focuses on a sufficiently
differentiated basic research and its interdisciplinary integration. Due to the increasing efforts for basic
research, adequate measures have been taken to establish it within the university itself, but also in a
network of basic research institutions (universities and beyond) on a European level. Basic research is
the condition for applied university research, which is an essential part of the TU Wien research
achievements. However, this cannot mean to exclusively focus research targets on a superficial
exploitation of findings and knowledge. The interface between social application/exploitation and
obtaining findings must be reflected continuously.
3. Teaching and Further Education (“Communicating Competence”)
Excellent teaching requires excellent research. Teaching at the TU Wien has two basic aims. It is about
communicating technical knowledge and skills (“hard skills”) in teaching and further education. Since in
the future knowledge will increasingly become effective in complex procedures of finding and
balancing interests, “hard skills” must be combined with communicative and social skills (“soft skills”).
Globalisation also requires a strengthened internationalisation of teaching. This combination is not only
important in terms of profession, but also supports the sustainable competitiveness of graduates. To
meet the quickly increasing amount of technical knowledge – in particular in the natural and technical
sciences – besides a solid basic education – “learning of learning” is communicated and made possible
Mission Statement
Technology for People
by appropriate further education offers. The TU Wien makes itself ready for the competition for the
masterminds.
4. Social Task (“Technology for People”)
The TU Wien seeks to actively participate in the transfer of society from an industry-based to a sciencebased service-oriented society in a responsible way. Here, the TU Wien has the task to actively
participate in the transfer of the technical, economic, cultural, social and ecological structures in a
responsible way. To make sure that the specific social tasks of universities (scientific research and
teaching as well as education) can also be fulfilled, the maintaining and forming of the valuable property
of freedom of research and teaching is indispensable. The TU Wien seeks to grant all people equal
chances according to their abilities. This in particular applies to women (who are traditionally
underrepresented in the technical fields).
About Us
History
The Establishment of the “k.k. Polytechnischen Institut”
The
first
director
of
the
“k.k.
Polytechnisches Institut” – as the
“Technische Universität Wien” (Vienna
University of Technology) was called when
founded in 1815 – was Johann Joseph Ritter
von Prechtl. In contrast to the Paris model
Ecole Polytechnique (founded in 1795)
Prechtl, the liberal mastermind, humanist
and pedagogue, developed a non-military
organisational statute for the Vienna
Institute. The revolutionary aspect of
Prechtl’s intention was to realise an
institution similar to a university with
freedom of teaching and learning for both
professors and students and tasks far
beyond mere teaching.
On November 6, 1815 the “k.k. Polytechnisches Institut” was inaugurated as the first University of
Technology in the German-speaking area and started to offer studies.
Milestones in the History of the TU Wien
In 1865, the Polytechnisches Institut was entirely restructured. Amongst innovations were the
classification of “Fachschulen“ (since 1928 referred to as Faculties) and a Statute of the Rectorate. By
restructuring, the technical disciplines were intensified and further developed.
In 1872, the Polytechnisches Institut was renamed as “k.k. technische Hochschule in Wien”. This
organisational structure was maintained until 1938.
After the “Anschluss” in 1938, lots of scientists and students were excluded from the higher education
establishment for racial and political reasons. Many of them could emigrate, some were displaced and
murdered. At the beginning, the Second World War allowed the Technische Hochschule in Wien to
participate in armament research projects of the “Deutsches Reich”. However, as war continued,
research and teaching increasingly experienced restrictions as more and more members of the
Hochschule were drafted to military service.
After the Second World War, the Hochschule suffered a period of stagnation like all Austrian universities
after the immediate rebuilding phase. It was only in the 1960s that a new upswing made its way –
probably also in view of the fast development of the knowledge in the fields of technical and natural
sciences and the increasing importance of technology in all areas of life.
Further important milestones are the awarded right of graduation in 1901, the admission to studies for
women
in
1919
and
the
awarded
status
of
a
university
in
1975.
The University Act 2002, which came into effect on January 1, 2004, brought important organisational
changes and made all Austrian universities completely autonomous institutions.
About Us
Facts and Figures
Overview
The Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien, Vienna University of Technology) is Austria’s largest
university in the fields of technical and natural sciences and ranks among the best European higher
education establishments of Technology.
Around 2.800 employees work at the TU Wien. The annual “turnover” is about 200 Mio Euro.
In addition to outstanding research there are 21 bachelor and 42 master studies, 5 studies for the
teaching profession and 3 doctoral studies offered and studied by more than 20.000 young people. The
TU Wien is managed by a Rectorate of 5 persons and classified into 8 faculties with nearly more than 60
institutes.
The TU in Figures
The TU website http://www.tuwien.ac.at/wir_ueber_uns/zahlen_und_fakten/daten/ provides you with
the most important information about resources (balance, profit and loss account, statistics about
personnel and room facilities) and studies (figures of students and graduates).
Reports and Documents
•
Balance Sheets
The balance sheets with the balance and the profit and loss account provide an overview of the
economic development of the TU Wien. However, they should not mislead to automatically adopt
the system and terms of double-entry bookkeeping. In contrast to traditional companies, “profit”,
“turnover” and similar terms cannot be applied for universities alike.
•
Activity Reports, Statistics on Knowledge
Activity reports and statistics on knowledge must also be drawn up as traditional instruments of
business administration cannot sufficiently describe the achievements of the TU Wien. They show
an overview of the achievements and developments of the TU Wien beyond budget.
•
Development Plan
The current development plan picks up ideas and progress and anticipates future development. It
accurately focuses on qualitative and quantitative further development. The development plan aims
at using the resources for the core competences of the TU Wien in the best way. It should be
interpreted as an expressed will to do the right things in a right way.
•
Performance Agreement
The Federal Ministry concluded a contract for a 3-year-period (for the first time 2007 – 2009) with
the universities.

Faculty of Architecture and Planning
Architecture and Planning are creative forces of social development:
Speaking of social dimension, architecture and planning are processes
where individual interests and their social conditioning are demonstrated
by creative, technical and planning devices. The interacting relations
between architecture, planning and society form an integral part of a
modern practice of design and planning.
The developments from industry towards service, from labour towards
leisure time, the entrance into a new information and knowledge society
come along with new settlement areas and building types and require
drastic changes of daily work, education and research. Planning takes
place under diverse, dynamically changing basic conditions and an
enhanced economic pressure. The draft of single objects and clearly
defined and named settlement structures turns into process-related, open
planning. Equally considering both technical, cultural, social, economic
and ecological aspects – which makes architecture and land use planning
different from mere technical disciplines – become more important
herewith.
Regarding education and training, the new developments
make professional knowledge increasingly specialised and at
the same time out of date faster. Quality-based university
education must meet this circumstance. Thus, besides special
knowledge, basic and managing knowledge are taught.

Architecture with its core competences analysis, drafting,

implementing and coordinating is still very important for the
building culture and the building economy. Moreover, new
http://arch.tuwien.ac.at/
professional fields arise, amongst other things within digital
media. Planning is part of the fundamental change and greatly
influences the self-image of administration and politics and
enhances its professional fields also within the private economy. The new bachelor and master studies
of the Faculty provide the conditions necessary to meet these challenges.
Within teaching, a professional design, construction and planning competence based on research is
taught: systemic and functional as well as methodical competence to production and innovation on all
standard levels from the region to the object and to the detailed draft – sustainability is the leading
parameter here. The wide scope and the heterogeneous spectrum make also a career in related
professional fields possible.
Beyond the classic fields of applied research, research is focused on the methodology and technique
of designing and planning, the architectural quality of buildings, the spatial simulation, the dynamics of
spatial processes, the sustainable spatial and urban development and the theory of urban development
and architecture:

The Faculty with more than 3,968 students, 80 tutors, 167 internal and 162 external lecturers with 780
specific courses attracts both people and knowledge. Thus, the Faculty is internationally highly ranking
within training schools and research institutions.
Faculties
Faculty of Civil Engineering
The know-how of the civil engineers at the TU Wien ranges from construction engineering to building sciences, reinforced concrete structures, mechanics of materials and structures, soil and rock mechanics, building industry, traffic planning, road and railroad construction to urban water supply, waste management, hydraulics and water management. Private persons, industry, economy and politics benefit from the research achievements of the civil engineers.
However, also the civil engineers of the TU Wien must specialise and thus
the activity is mainly focused on three areas as follows:
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
modelling and simulation of systems, processes, and procedures in
civil engineering,
materials science for building and maintenance of civil engineering
structures, and
concepts for transportation infrastructures and management of resources.
Dean
Josef Eberhardsteiner
The civil engineers of the TU Wien are also involved when real situations like floods, extreme wind
exposures, vibrations, etc. must be simulated, when prognoses of structural behaviour are made and
measures are planned to prevent an emergency.
Of course, the TU civil engineers also focus their research on the development of new materials for
construction and maintenance of buildings, monuments and bridges. Again, the criteria of sustainability
and economy increasingly influence the development. Lighter and more economical constructions
naturally ask for lighter, cheaper and ecological materials, the energy factor becomes increasingly
important.

The “integrative and wholistic view” becomes increasingly
http://www.bauwesen.tuwien.ac.at/
important for TU civil engineers. Having a broader perspective and actively looking for co-operation partners of other
disciplines like chemistry or geo-information make civil engineers profound masterminds. They take a leading part within water supply and wastewater disposal
and resource management where the materials cycle requires improvement – keyword waste.
The achievements of the civil engineers of the TU Wien must particularly be stressed within construction engineering – and here especially the activities within various complex analyses and investigations
of civil engineering structures.
Last but not least, highly qualified civil engineers with management skills are also required abroad –
both by Austrian and international building companies.
The civil engineers of the TU Wien focus on both, new buildings and to an increasing extent on preserving or repairing existing constructions.

Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Life without a mobile phone, an MP3 player, TV, internet and radio can hardly
be imagined nowadays – it is not possible to be more than 10 steps away
from electronics or information technology. The Faculty of Electrical
Engineering and Information Technology of the TU Wien concentrates hightech research in the clusters Telecommunications, Microelectronics and
Photonics and Automation and Computer Technology as well as in the field of
Energy Technology.
The universality and availability of high-standard Telecommunications is
constantly increasing. Especially mobile telephone systems offer new
incentives for society. Phoning, taking pictures, making movies, mailing,
mobile internet – and all this at decreasing costs and high availability. Already
now telecommunications experts of the TU Wien intensively focus their
research on the fourth mobile telephone system generation. High-tech
research in broadcasting techniques, broadband communication technology
and signal diffusion offer the highest broadcasting capacities in future nets.
New design methods which allow for implementing and testing complex
algorithms for applications in telecommunications and for making the signal
diffusion integrable in hardware components are investigated.

electronic components up to the limits of atomic dimensions.
However, nano-fabrication of semiconductor structures,
which are already scaled in atomic dimensions, also make
optic terahertz sources possible: once developed, these would lead to new medical diagnosis
techniques like e.g. the contactless optic biopsy – here, tissue is being investigated without taking
samples. Again, ultra short-time laser pulses (attoseconds) allow for real-time observation of
procedures in the electron shell of atoms. Integrated sensors (Lab-on-a-Chip) and laser-supported
ultra-microscopic methods which allow for direct observation of chemical processes in the brain show
new perspectives in this area for diagnostics and create a strong relation to Life Sciences.
Automation and Computer Technology is increasingly integrated in all fields of daily life and
combines hitherto independent applications. Automatic energy distribution and traffic capacity systems
belong to state of the art. In manufacturing companies, robots which can visually sense their
environment increase the productivity and reduce the costs. The integration and fusion of sensor dates,
the control of highly complex and heterogeneous systems are new challenges for the experts ot the TU
Wien. Here, on the one hand they adapt the control-oriented methods to the IT environment with its
specific delay times. On the other hand, they develop methods of the requirement and systems
engineering and simulation methods for networked systems, where several 10.000 sensors and actors
are coordinated by complex and heterogeneous hardware/software systems.
Sustainable energy sources and energy storages, energy distribution and efficient energy conversion
for stationary and mobile users and avoiding “blackouts”– which have occurred nearly everywhere –
are highly important within TU research of the energy engineers. Here, both the expected energy
demand and the optimal energy mix are calculated applying system-oriented simulation and modelling
with complex computer simulations, and the research of highly-efficient energy converters and storage
with regard to their climate neutrality are researched.

Faculty of Informatics
Informatics creates Future
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are gradually
penetrating into all areas of life and evolving at a rapid pace. The
development and use of ICT is affecting not just business and
administration but the personal lives of a growing number of people.
Informatics takes a leading part in this development.
The research carried out by the Faculty of Informatics is primarily
application-oriented fundamental research in five main research areas:
Computer Engineering at the Faculty of Informatics is based on an
integral approach combining informatics, communications technology
and microelectronics. The primary area of research is embedded
systems, which are an essential part of many objects in everyday life.
Over the last few decades, computers have been increasingly used for
tasks that were once thought the sole preserve of human intelligence.
Scientists have developed ways of formally representing knowledge and using ‘intelligent’ methods to
solve problems with the aid of computers. This field is generally described as Computational
Intelligence.
Distributed and Parallel Systems concentrate on all aspects of distributed, heterogeneous software
systems, particularly their communication services and standards, and the ways they are integrated to
form global information networks and systems.
Virtual and augmented reality technologies and their applications are becoming increasingly important
in the field of computer graphics. Key areas of development in the research area of Media Informatics
und Visual Computing include the visualisation of large data volumes, the development of new
interaction technologies, tracking and surveillance applications and human-computer interaction in the
broadest sense.
Business informatics is the multidisciplinary interface between business and informatics where
modern information and communications technologies are put to social and economic use. Research
topics and their practical implementation have evolved from the traditional, mainly managementoriented information systems to customer-focused, ‘intelligent’ information systems that span across
companies.
Excellent career prospects
The range of courses offered by the Faculty of Informatics reflects both the diversity of this field and the
current status of international research. The available specialisms correspond to the different
requirements of industry and also enable students to tailor their studies to their particular interests and
abilities. Given the crucial importance of informatics as a discipline, graduates of this faculty have
excellent career prospects.
Locations
The Faculty of Informatics is spread over three locations: most institutes are located in Favoritenstraße
9-11, other locations are Argentinierstraße 8 and Treitlstraße 3.

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Business Science
“From generating new ideas to saleable products or processes” – this (?)
is the motto of the institutes of the Faculty for Mechanical Engineering and
Industrial Engineering of the TU Wien.
The research spectrum is very widespread and is by far not only about
machines in the classic sense as the following examples demonstrate:
Flow in an ink-jet print head, training systems for paraplegics, artificial
knee joints, dynamometers for the application within weightlessness,
alternative fuels from biogenic waste, feed of biogas in the natural gas net,
ecodesign as innovative way of sustainable development, innovative rapid
prototyping and modelling of cellular materials, crash simulation
concerning rail cars.
Each application-oriented research area within engineering sciences
seeks problem-solving as generally optimising in terms of technical,
economic and ecological aims.
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Dean
Bruno Grösel
Optimising in a technical respect takes place in terms of the requested functions, safety, reliability
and availability.
Optimising in an economic aspect concerns costs to manufacture the product or the plant and its
use.
Optimising in an ecological respect means taking into account aspects of sustainability like
reducing the need of material and energy for the production and within operational use.
This aim corresponds to the mission statement of our TU in the wording “Technology for People”.
To organise the research areas as universal as possible, we seek – as far as it makes sense – to
strengthen the orientation towards methods more then the orientation towards products.
Research in mechanical and plant engineering is very laboratory-oriented, though virtual engineering,
that is to say making analyses and tests in the virtual world of the computer by computer simulation, is
increasingly becoming more important.
The four main research areas of our Faculty are:

Faculty of Mathematics and Geo-Information
The Faculty of Mathematics and Geo-Information consists of the two
departments “Mathematics” and “Surveying and Geo-Information”.
Mathematics
The department with more than 100 mathematicians ranks among the
biggest mathematical research institutions in Europe. Mathematical basic
research at the TU Wien seeks universal, sometimes highly abstract
contexts. Thanks to the general approach, phenomena from a wide variety
of application areas can be described and understood in a better way. On
the other hand, starting from practical problems, applied research offers
scientific solutions and utilises the findings of basic research, but offers at
Dean
the same time suggestions for it. Typical problems are e.g. the modelling
Dietmar Dorninger
of semiconductor components and the design of efficient codes (keyword
security codes for the internet), calculating the bank credit risks und
simulations in neuroprosthetics. The activities of the department within many externally funded projects
and research programmes (co-operations with economy and industry, EU projeccts, FWF projects, a
CD laboratory, scientific awards,...) show the high quality of mathematical research at the TU Wien. The
Faculty is also proud that numerous honorary doctors, distinguished honorary professors, START
award winners, the “Scientist of the Year 2004” and a co-holder of the world record 2006 in
supercomputing are among the members of the Faculty.
Mathematical research at the TU Wien will concentrate on the following areas in the next years:

The department for Surveying and Geo-Information deals
with methods for the collection, modelling and
http://www.math.tuwien.ac.at/
communication of spatial data with the help of satellites,
mobile internet and other modern technologies. It supports
science and education for the rapidly growing geoinformation market and helps addressing societal
and environmental challenges such as posed by climate change and shrinking energy supplies.
Geodata are increasingly being collected with automatic and non-contacting measurement systems
with a steadily increasing accuracy. Global navigation satellite systems now allow us to determine our
position, even when moving, with an accuracy of one meter or better. They are part of a larger group
of geodetic technologies that deal with the measurement and representation of the earth, including its
gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Earth observation satellites are used for
monitoring the atmosphere, the oceans and the land surface at global scale. At local to regional scale,
surveying and photogrammetric technologies are used for capturing the geometric form of buildings
and other objects. The collected data are e.g. used for establishing land use and cadastral maps.
Geophysics gathers data about the earth's interior using e.g. seismic measurements in an effort to map
the structure of the earth and for understanding geodynamic processes that might lead e.g. to
earthquakes and landslides.
The rapid progresses in sensor and computer technologies lead to an exponential growth of data
volumes. This poses a huge challenge to the field of geo-information that combines geospatial analysis
and modelling, development of geospatial databases, information systems design, human-computer
interaction, and both wired and wireless networking technologies. For presenting the geodata,
traditional cartographic maps are still often used, but new multimedia technologies such as mobile
internet and location-based services play an increasingly important role in the cartographic
communication process.

Faculty of Physics
Physics – from the Components of Matter to the Limits of the
Universe
Physical research includes an area ranging from the smallest components
of matter to the limits of the universe, and its concepts and methods are far
beyond the horizon of daily life. Physics particularly reflects the diversity of
the structures and phenomena of the microcosm and the macrocosm. The
potential of current research findings regarding new technical applications
can only be understood if someone knows and clearly understands the
physical basics of these findings. However, also within Physics one must
accurately consider the consequences of all new findings and evaluate
possible risks in a responsible way.
Top and Width – the Diversity of Physical Research Spirit
The closeness between basic research and technical applications
characterise both research and teaching of Technical Physics at the TU

the Faculty of Physics is very broad, which positively influences both the
quality of the studies and the perspectives of the graduates. In the field of nuclear and particle physics,
for instance, the thorough investigation of fundamental interactions deepens not only our knowledge of
the foundations of quantum mechanics but has also a stimulating impact upon nuclear astrophysics. In
the field of atomic physics and quantum optics, efforts are
concentrated on developing the so-called atom chip

development and research of high-tech materials, like for example superconductors and
nanocrystalline or amorphous ferromagnets. At the Faculty of Physics there is also a focus on physical
and chemical materials and environment analysis with X-ray, neutron and ion beams as well as on
surface, interface and thin film research. There is a clear balance between basic research and
application-oriented research at the Faculty of Physics, exemplified for instance by such diverse fields
like elementary particle physics, sensorics and ultrasonic technology.
Focus of Research
Eager to be absolutely competitive all over the world and to take a leading part, research at the Faculty
of Physics is focused on the three strategic fields “non-linear dynamics and complex systems”,
“materials under extreme scales and conditions” and “new physical-analytical methods”, all of them
being incorporated in international networks. Four research areas can be allocated to these three
strategic fields:

Faculty of Technical Chemistry
“You are Chemistry” – apparently a commonplace as we all know the
essential meaning of chemical compounds, products or processes in daily
life. Think of drugs, plastics, metals as well as technologies and processes
which analyse and produce these materials. Nowadays, within its different
disciplines high-tech chemistry is an integrated part of interdisciplinary
research with future topics like materials sciences, sustainable
technologies, renewable energies, or life sciences.
Research in Applied Synthetic Chemistry is focused on producing and
characterising new lower and macromolecular compounds aimed at
research topics like for example bioactive molecules, synthetic
components and polymers of technical interest, chemistry of renewable
resources, chemical modification of surfaces or ligand/complex
chemistry. Methods are mainly developed in the field of bio(in)organic

developing new analysis methods and strategies for
environmental, bio and polymer analytics as well as of instruments, in particular in the field of high
resolution mass spectrometry, aerosol measuring and sensor technology (e.g.: lab-on-the-chip).
Research in Materials Chemistry is mainly focused on chemistry of nano-structured materials.
Activities include syntheses of inorganic and hybrid materials from solutions, gels or the gas phase as
well as studying the relations between synthesis parameters, structure and characteristics. Other fields
are about condensed material in non-balanced conditions as well as surface and interface chemistry.
Theoretical research is focused on calculating and studying the electronic structure of solid state
bodies and molecules by means of density functional theory and methods of molecule dynamics.
The research area Process Engineering and Biotechnology build a bridge to the Technical
Biosciences from mechanical, thermal and chemical process engineering to bio-process engineering.
Research activities within process engineering disciplines mainly focus on mechanical separation
processes and particle technology, fibre technology, process analytics/simulation, sustainable energy
and environment technology, fluidised bed systems, chemical reaction technology und fuel
technology. Bio-scientific and bio-process engineering research include fields like genetic
engineering, biochemistry and DNA-analytics to develop clades of industrially applied fungi, wood

equally profit from. We are happy to welcome you at some event of our Centre. Our offer includes the

For requests about the whole workflow of a course, the entry via “LVA-Ankündigung” or
“Hörsaalreservierung” don’t hesitate to contact the Department for Studies and Examinations (Anton
Hörmann, Tel. 58801-41061).
Studies
The Vienna University of Technology offers (besides terminating diploma studies) a total of 70 bachelor,
master, teacher training and doctoral studies. In winter term 2008/09 about 20250 officially enrolled
students were registered. There is a percentage of 25% female and a percentage of 25% foreign
students. The Department for Studies and Examinations enters the agreed curricula into the TUWIS++
application “Studienpläne” (curricula). Then, the individual courses (LVA) are allocated to the curricula
subjects by the Academic Dean or the Committee for Study Affairs. This allocation is necessarily
required to enable the Academic Dean to assign and remunerate these LVA. In principle, institutes are
not supposed to deal with curricula entries.
Individual Studies: According to rules provided by law, subjects from different diploma, bachelor or
master studies can be connected to individual diploma, bachelor or master studies. Individual doctoral
studies are not provided.
Recognition of Academic Certificates
This is the recognition of a final degree acquired from an acknowledged foreign post-secondary
training institution as a degree of domestic regular studies. The application must be filed with a
domestic university where the domestic studies concerned are offered. The filed application requires
the confirmation that the recognition of academic certificates is necessary for exercising the profession
(or for continuing education).

Students’ Body at the TU Wien (HTU)
The HTU is the representation of interests for students
of the TU Wien provided by law and has 3 levels: the
university representation, the representation of
faculties and the representations of fields of study.
The current chair persons of the HTU are:

http://www.htu.at
The representations of fields of study provide advice,
scripts, examples of exams etc. and are the first contact
point in cases of problems within studying. They
represent the students in commissions like e.g. also in the so called curricula commissions, which are
responsible for the curriculum. The representations of fields of study at the TU Wien are also called
“Fachschaften” (students councils).
The representation of a faculty represents the interests of students of all fields of study of a faculty.
However, at the TU Wien the representations of faculties are not so busy. The focus is on the
representations of fields of study. Thus, all representatives of a faculty are also active in a representation
of a field of study.
The university representation is the highest level of the representation of students at the TU Wien. The
chairman represents the Students’ Body outwards and coordinates the internal activities.
In addition to the “Fachschaften” (representation of studies and faculties), the HTU also established a
few units. On the one hand, the units are supposed to guarantee the service of the Students’ Body (like

Affairs
The AKG is responsible for supporting all members of TU Wien: scientific and non-scientific staff,
students, as well as employees of externally funded projects.
Duties
The main function of the AKG is to ensure that the aims of gender equality as defined by the B-GlBG are
attained at the TU Wien. The B-GlBG set a target quota of 40% women employed at all hierarchical
levels and in all fields of activity at the university. Until this quota is reached, the employment of women
will be a matter of priority in case of equal qualification. Moreover, it is the task of the AKG by law to
prevent all forms of discrimination against university members for reasons of gender, ethnic origin,
religious or philosophical viewpoint, age, or sexual orientation.
Activities

Representations of Interests
Staff Association for Scientific Staff
The Staff Association for Scientific Staff (BRWP) is elected every 4 years and represents the interests of
all scientific employees (tutors, student assistants, project assistants, assistants, lecturers and associate
and full professors) of the TU Wien. In a nutshell: The Staff Association is your statutory Representation of
Interests under labour law regarding economic, social, sanitary and cultural matters.
Tasks of the Staff Association
Among the tasks of the Staff Association are the following:
ƒ Controlling the adherence to all legal regulations concerning employees (statutes, regulations,
employment agreements and collective agreements if applicable)
ƒ Advising and supporting all colleagues in matters of labour law
ƒ Contact point for labour conflicts and bullying at work
ƒ Participating within the University in matters prescribed by law
Formation of the Staff Association
Due to the number of people in its scope (at the
moment more than 2600 scientists) the Staff
Association for Scientific Staff has 18 members
from all eight faculties. Moreover, there are
several substitute members, which may be
contacted (at first) as well, if necessary. In
particular, it has to be stressed that – opposed to
employee representations in nearly all other
companies – the Staff Association is independent
of any party. In addition, it has to be noted that all
members are still university teachers and are
thus not released from work as a professional
representative for employees.
The management of the BRWP (from the left to the right):
Ingrid Steiner (2nd Substitute Chairwoman), Erasmus Langer
(Chairman), H. Peter Degischer (1st Substitute Chairman)
Contact
You can either contact the Secretariat, the Chairman, one of his substitutes or a member of the Staff
Association. Though it goes without saying, it should be stressed that both the members (and also
substitute members) and the consultant of the Staff Association are obliged to keep confidence. Should
problems arise, please contact the Staff Association in time and seek to persuade applying (future)
colleagues to contact the Staff Association before they sign the employment contract.
Employment Agreements
The Staff Association has already concluded a few
employment agreements with the Rectorate
(representing the owner of the University).
Please inform yourself about these employment
agreements at the homepage of the Staff
Assocation

Tax
Glossary
How to do @ TU
The University Act 2002 says that all privileges of charges and duties granted to the federal
institutions also apply to the universities as far as they fulfill their legal tasks (research &
teaching).
The VAT duty depends on the classification of corporate law: if there is a business company it
is subject to VAT. The TU Wien is not a business company and thus is not subject to VAT. The
invoices issued by the TU Wien do not show any VAT. Thus, the TU Wien cannot deduct the
VAT invoiced by other companies as input tax.

Unpaid Leave of Absence
Glossary
How to do @ TU
In case of unpaid leave of absence the employment is in principle kept up; however, both
parts are released from their rights and obligations from the employment for the time of
unpaid leave of absence. An unpaid leave of absence is possible for different reasons; it can
only be mutually agreed dependent on the reason (e.g. release from research for university
teachers, unpaid leave for any reason) or there is a legal title to it (e.g. maternity or paternity
leave of absence).
University Courses
In addition to the regular studies university courses are established if required. Participants
are students who are not officially enrolled.
There are separately determined course contributions instead of the tuition fees (if there is not
another registration of regular studies).
