TU Wien aims to develop and foster joint research and teaching activities with selected universities. This collaboration should be diverse, mutually beneficial and open up the opportunity to maintain medium-term or long-term cooperation.

Wherever TU Wien presents itself as an entire institution, rather than individual departments, or added value arises through international networking, international cooperation forms part of the university management’s guiding measures.

The priorities are derived from focuses of research in the development plan and an emphasis is placed on universities with excellent research results in the relevant specialist field.
Other parameters for finalising university partnerships include investment activity in the university sector, special study and research programmes or historic ties.

For us, quality is more important than quantity, so our focus is on consolidating existing successful partnerships rather than collaborating with lots of institutions in pursuit of individual interests.
