With approximately 2,500 employees in scientific and non-scientific fields and 4,600 students, the Medical University of Graz is a center of innovative university medicine in the south of Austria. The wide range of professional development opportunities at the university is directed at a variety of occupational groups in the fields of medicine, science and research, nursing and health services. It is an attractive environment and employer for its many faculty and staff, also playing an important role in patient care.

Education at the university revolves around innovative teaching concepts, practice-oriented small study groups, and the development of new forms of teaching and studying. Students are able to gain practical experience at a very early stage of their studies where an emphasis is laid on medical knowledge, social competence and ethics. Others at the university are involved in implementing manifold projects: scientists, researchers, doctors, teachers and many other staff members in different occupational groups see themselves as the pioneering minds who make up the spirit and innovative power of the Medical University of Graz through their daily work and respectful and open cooperation.

The university is also the co-owner of the Center for Knowledge and Technology Transfer in Medicine (ZWT). At the ZWT, startups and companies have easier access to scientific know-how and, thus, are able to improve human health with their products and services. This dynamic pairing works as an ideal networking platform and a cross between science and economics, providing further opportunities for internships and future work. For founders in the life science sector, the ZWT Accelerator functions as a “one-stop shop” whose services go far beyond providing an office, laboratory space and infrastructure. This accelerator has been established as a further networking platform with appropriate space and opportunity for tenants to network with each other, but also for workshops and events with partners to take place.
