How to get there

Vienna is one of the most popular congress cities in the world. Located in the heart of Europe, it is a cosmopolitan city of great cultural diversity. The Vienna University of Technology is the largest Austrian institution in research and education, looking back on a long tradition at the leading edge of science: Founded in 1815 as k.k. Polytechnisches Institut (Imperial and Royal Polytechnical Institute), it was divided into five faculties in 1865. One year later, the first freely elected rector was inaugurated. In 1872 its name changed to Technische Hochschule (College of Technology), and in 1902 the first doctorates were awarded. The institution has borne its current name-Technische Universität Wien (Vienna University of Technology)-since 1975. In 2004, the university reached full autonomy through the University Act 2002.

Among the alumni of the Vienna University of Technology are such famous engineers, architects and artists as Viktor Kaplan, Carl Junker, Roland Rainer, Josef Strauß, or Herbert Boeckl.
