8 faculties. 8 perspectives. 1 lecture series.

What does infinity have to do with the challenges of everyday life?
How does diversity influence transportation planning?
And what can the circuits in our brains tell us about work and collaboration?

With “Diversity Matters – Faculties explore Facts” we are bringing together all eight faculties of TU Wien in the 2026/27 academic year. Once a month, a different faculty will share its specialist perspective on diversity and inclusion – offering surprising perspectives, exciting research and personal insights.

From architecture and civil engineering, through technical chemical and physics, to mechanical engineering and informatics: the topics are as diverse as the faculties themselves.
