Partnerships and innovative projects

Innovative solutions for the further development of academic life and the role of academic libraries are important to us here at TU Wien Bibliothek. For this reason, we are working closely on a number of projects with researchers and teaching staff. Partnerships for exhibitions or events, such as lecture series, are also a priority for us in providing low-threshold access to academic knowledge.

Artificial Researcher in Science: In this third-party-funded research project, academic research tools of the future are improved by using artificial intelligence and text mining.
Trust in Robots: The library as a living lab is partner to this postgraduate course in which the use of robots and interaction between humans and machines are being researched.
Interdisciplinary lectures and courses: Here, the library building itself and the library as a location becomes the focus with regard to future modernisation and reorganisation measures.
EOSC Secretariat: Through our participation in the H2020 project, we are significantly involved in the realisation of the European Open Science Cloud and in the development of sustainable research infrastructures for Europe.
Smart Campus: This project is funded within the TU Wien digitalization initiative. A simulation model of the library building provides data for research and teaching, and for a sustainable renovation concept for the library building.
Focus on Open Science: We are bringing the international series of events to TU Wien. Current open science developments in academic life will thus be discussed directly with researchers and other stakeholders.
The Horizon 2020 project CO-VERSATILE was launched by 21 partners from across Europe to boost manufacturing responsiveness to counteract the shortage of vital medical equipment and protect caregivers and citizens. The project is an answer to a Covid urgent action initiated by the EU.

AT2OA: The “Austrian Transition to Open Access (AT2OA)” project, funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research, has significantly advanced the transformation to an open science culture. TU Wien Bibliothek has been active in all subprojects. Visit the AT2OA website for an overview of publications, presentations and events in connection with the AT2OA project.
