The digitalization-uni sets the pace with new strategy

TU Wien have appointed a Vice Rector for Digitalization and Infrastructure from 01/01/2019 to aid in implementing its digitalization strategy in research, teaching and administration. The recently adopted digitalization strategy sets the framework conditions for a centrally coordinated, university-wide digital transformation process involving all members of TU Wien. As a technical university, TU Wien is best placed to even better define its role as an innovative driver of digital transformation within society. The strengths of TU Wien, such as academic excellence, internationality, interdisciplinarity, diversity and its presence in urban areas, will be optimally used and expanded in this transformation process. Organisation The Rectorate is responsible for the further development of a sustainable and future-oriented digitalization strategy, setting strategic targets and creating framework conditions and incentive structures to promote greater openness towards the digital transformation process. It is supported by the Digitalization Advisory Committee - an interdisciplinary panel of experts at TU Wien. The Vice Rector for Digitalization and Infrastructure is responsible for the operational implementation of the digitalization strategy, ensuring that redundancies are avoided, efficiency is guaranteed and that all competences available at TU Wien are involved in the process.
