The Institute of Chemical Technologies and Analytics - within the Faculty of Technical Chemistry, opens an external URL in a new window -  bridges different matters in Chemistry, Technology, Instrumental Analytical Chemistry, Materials Science, Bioanalytics, Electrochemistry and Environmental Chemistry and unifies basic with applied sciences & technologies within one institution, which is a unique combination found in Central and Eastern Europe.

The scientific focus of the institute is on one hand development of analytical strategies and instrumentation (e.g. (bio)sensors, omics-techniques, mass spectrometry, imaging techniques, ultra trace separation and detection techniques on the elemental as well as molecular level). On the other hand the focus is related to technology of speciality materials, ranging from metals, less common metals, high performance ceramics, thin films and composites to biomedical materials, as well as energy storage and conversion devices in connection with electrochemical technologies. The development of powerful analytic techniques for structure elucidation as well as for environmental technologies is another focus of research within the institute.

The strength of the institute lies in the remarkable combination of industrially driven applied research and development with an exceptional range of analytical, chemical and structural characterization methods, represented by a large pool of "high-end" scientific equipment. As an example, the institutes has in-house access to an array of excellent analytical instruments pooled in the X-ray Center, opens in new window and Analytical Instrumentation Center, opens in new window allowing competitive research in a large number of application fields (e.g. ranging from inorganic metallic materials to biological tissues).

The Institute of Chemical Technologies and Analytics is organized in five research divisions and consists of 12 research groups headed by international renown scientists and high potential young scientists.

In the first week, first-semester students of the degree programme Spatial Planning and Spatial Development were given an overview of the degree programme in the course "Orientation Phase Spatial Planning". Among other things, they got to know relevant research areas and institutes. In addition, various fields of activity and career opportunities that may arise after graduation were presented in the course of the practitioners' forum. On the last day, various excursions took place in this context. The students had the opportunity to get to know the city of Vienna from a different perspective. Two excursions were offered by the Research Department for Urban and Regional Research (SRF).

"aspern – Vienna's Urban Lakeside" with Hans Kramar

Over the next 15 years, one of the largest urban development projects in Europe will be built in Vienna's 22nd district. What sets Seestadt Aspern apart from many other urban development areas is the existence of a long-term master plan that is to be implemented in several stages by 2030. The Urban Lakeside is not only to provide high-quality housing for up to 20,000 people, but at the same time to serve as a modern office and commercial location with research and educational opportunities as well as diverse leisure and cultural facilities. This integrated approach to urban development is to be realised with the help of new technologies (transport, energy, construction technology) and with the involvement of the population. The excursion gave the students an insight into the history, status quo and future steps of this project, which has attracted attention throughout Europe.

"Favoriten - Housing and Mobility in Changing Times" with Florian Pühringer and David Schwab

The 10th district is one of the most dynamic districts in Vienna: strong population growth, new districts, new infrastructure. At the same time, Favoriten is an originally industrial, working-class and immigrant district. The students were given the opportunity to explore the challenges of the current structural, socio-demographic, mobility-related and economic transformation processes for the district's development. The focus of the excursion was on municipal housing and its transformation in past eras as well as mobility-related tasks against the background of local political conditions. The excursion started at Reumannplatz, led through Supergrätzl, Gudrunstraße and the urban development area Neues Landgut to Sonnwendviertel, currently the largest urban development area in Favoriten.
