TU Wien: Research to advance

TU Wien is establishing the "Advancement Fund" as a fund-raising format to advance fundamental research, methodological and application development and scholarships. With their fact-based knowledge, researchers open up many advantages for moving society forward and, with data analyses, forecasts and technological developments, they provide the foundations for decision-makers of economics and policy. Researchers at TU Wien are using their expertise to contribute towards emerging more strongly from the current health and economic crisis. To advance fundamental research, the development of methods in the field of simulation and modelling and to advance applications in the urban and/or regional thematic areas of the environment, energy, production, mobility and logistics, TU Wien, together with the TU Wien Foundation, has established the "Advancement Fund". A means to manage the crisis. "We need to use the collective experience of the last few months to emerge more strongly from this health and economic crisis. Only through intensive, cross-disciplinary research involving scientific discourse and transparency can innovative models for the future be developed," explained Rector Sabine Seidler.
