Today our team had an unusual and undesired break.
We took to the streets to protest against the dramatic financial situation the Technische Universität Wien and all other Austrian universities are facing.
Despite our austerity measures and the demand for additional budget to close the gap of hugely rising costs, the universities' operations for the next two years are still at risk. And with them the future of education, research, innovation and democracy in this country.
Turning off the light to university can have far reaching consequences for the whole society.
Will the Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Research listen to our concerns and requests?
