Foreword by the Rector
Students (total) Almost 38 percent of students studying in Innsbruck come from EU and non-EU countries. Eight percent of the scientific staff were not born in Austria and 71 percent of University of Innsbruck publications in Web of Science were co-authored with international scholars. The top position in international university rankings confirm the exceptional international networking success: In a special ranking of the Times Higher Education Ranking the University of Innsbruck ranked seventh in the category “International Outlook” and is, thus, the only Austrian university to rank among the top ten worldwide in this category.

University of Innsbruck The University of Innsbruck was founded in 1669 and is the biggest and most important research and educational institution in western Austria. Today it is comprised of almost 26,000 students and more than 4.000 staff and faculty members. 16 faculties provide a broad spectrum of programs in all fields of study. Academics teach and research in the diverse scientific fields of humanities, science, economic and social sciences, theology, law, architecture, engineering and teachers' training.
Five major research areas strengthen and sharpen the profile of the University’s research branch:
University of Innsbruck
Alpine Space – Man and Environment Academics at seven faculties study human influences and their impacts on the Alpine ecosystem and the role of the Alpine space in cultural exchanges between north and south. Research is aimed at developing strategies for the sustainable utilisation and development of the Alpine Space. Cultural Encounters – Cultural Conflicts The fate of humanity has always been determined by cultural encounters and conflicts. It has become indispensable for the modern world to understand their causes and effects. Studying these topics in an interdisciplinary approach has been a longstanding tradition at the University of Innsbruck.
Center for Molecular Biosciences This integrative and multidisciplinary research and teaching center focuses on the investigation of the structure, function and interaction of biological macromolecules and small molecules that are relevant for cell growth, metabolic activity and development. Physics Physics is not only the scientific foundation for our understanding of nature but also the basis for technological innovation. Scientists of the University of Innsbruck have built many international networks in astrophysics, astroparticle physics, ion and applied physics as well as quantum physics. Scientific Computing Today complex scientific questions can be observed and simulated in detail by using highly sophisticated mathematical methods, innovative computer models and new supercomputers. All research activities in the IT sector and e-sciences are concentrated in this research area. Additionally, there are 33 Fields of Research and 4 interdisciplinary Research Platforms with various faculties collaborating. They promote research networks and improve the international visibility of research. For more information please visit:
