Universität Innsbruck Facts and Figures 2017
Foreword by the Rector With this leaflet we would like to provide you with an overview of last year s exciting developments at the University of Innsbruck. We saw many outstanding achievements in numerous areas: The academics at the University of Innsbruck generated even more international top-ranking publications and held many high-level talks and lectures; third-party funds increased again and we were able to considerably increase the number of courses and continuing studies courses. At the University of Innsbruck, more than 40 percent of academics as well as students hailed from other countries. More than 72 percent of publications listed in the Web of Science were co-authored by international scientists in 2016. This outstanding international exposure has been reflected in recent higher education rankings, which acknowledge our alma mater as cosmopolitan and international in scope. The numbers provide an impressive testimonial to the university s numerous efforts to position itself as a main player in the national and international field of higher education. Despite some occasional headwinds, we are looking to a bright future for the University of Innsbruck. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult.

Universität Innsbruck Universität 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 more than 28,000 students and 4,500 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: 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 almost 40 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: www.uibk.ac.at
