Innovation Centre
The regional innovation centre »RIZ« which is located next to the university campus, supports students on their way to self-employment.
Research Centre
In the »TFZ« (research centre) students and university professors work on economic projects. For example the FH research subsidiary »Fotech« initiated the »MedAustron« project, a therapy and research centre in which cancerous tumors can be efficiently cured by means of a particle accelerator. »Med Austron« is a pan-European major project, which will provide approx. 400 new jobs. Apart from that, the »TFZ« also houses the »IMA« (Association for Micro System Technology), a centre of competence for electrochemistry, the Medical Engineering Group of Seibersdorf Austria Research Centre, as well as a research project focusing on tribology. Technology of vital importance for the future is being developed in the areas of micro and nanotechnology as well as life sciences.
