University of Klagenfurt

The University of Klagenfurt, founded in 1970, is one of the young public universities in Austria. The degree programmes on offer cover a broad portfolio: Cultural Studies, Literature & Linguistics, Law, Economics, Social & Societal Sciences and Technical Sciences. Around 2,000 of the 12,000 students come to Klagenfurt from almost 100 countries around the world to study here. The campus of the University of Klagenfurt is located on 10 hectares near Lake Wörthersee and the Lakeside Science & Technology Park with many high-tech companies.

In addition to the four faculties and the range of subjects they represent, so-called research areas of strength have been developed, in which scientists work on modern developments and methods in basic and applied research with a high level of international resonance. These focus on the topics of "Networked and Autonomous Systems" and "Multiple Perspectives in Optimisation".

Around 1,500 people currently work at the University of Klagenfurt in teaching, research and administration on a shared campus.The short distances enable a high level of dynamism and innovation in dealing with new social requirements and challenges. From a very early stage, projects at the University of Klagenfurt were part of Österreich forscht. Contributions to the Third Mission are made across all disciplines and are visible in various social fields.

We are therefore particularly pleased that the University of Klagenfurt is now also part of the Citizen Science Network Austria and we warmly welcome them!
