Welcome from the Rector
Dear colleagues,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the FH Campus Wien, University of Applied Sciences and the
City of Vienna, an exciting an inspiring environment for your academic visit. At our state-of-the-art
premises, we have created the ideal circumstances for high-quality teaching and research. The FH
Campus Wien is a very young institution with a growing focus on internationalisation. By
participating in educational programs and networks within the European Union the university
cooperates successfully with more than 100 partner institutions. This is the basis for the mobility of
students, faculty and staff, joint projects and our joint programme Social Economy and Social Work
(SOWOSEC). As a leading university of applied sciences in Austria, we highly profit from visits of
international staff, guest lecturers and professors who contribute significantly to the
internationalisation of our institution. Committed to implementing the aims of the Bologna-Process,
the FH Campus Wien is very interested in the creation of a European platform of higher education
and intends to further develop its position as an internationally oriented institution of higher
education. One important goal is the enhancement of the mobility of faculty and staff in order to
meet the demand for internationally experienced qualified members of the university. As a guest of
our university you in particular offer your colleagues and students at the FH Campus Wien the
opportunity to add an international component to their academic experience. I hope that the city of
Vienna and the FH Campus Wien will provide you with stimulating surroundings necessary for your
research and teaching. We wish you all the best for your stay in Vienna and a successful time at
the FH Campus Wien.

4 The City of Vienna
Vienna is the capital of Austria and with 1.8 million inhabitants it is also the largest city in the
country. Population numbers are on the rise as Vienna is not only considered the cultural and
economic hub of the central and eastern European region but also offers its inhabitants and visitors
high quality of living (according to the Mercer ranking 2014, it takes first place in the world) and a
rich culture acquired during an eventful 2000-year-old history.
Vienna covers an area of 41,495 hectare divided into 23 districts. With an area of 31.8 square
kilometres and a population of 171,600, the 10th district (Favoriten) is the largest among these
districts and would be the fourth largest city in Austria (after Vienna, Graz, and Linz). Vienna is
situated between the Vienna Woods and the Danube. Numerous guidebooks praise the beauty of
this city, where the traces of history and tradition can be found on every corner. For a Time Lapse
of Vienna, you might want to watch this short video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fax_vb4gSzk
But Vienna is not only about St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel, and
Schönbrunn Palace. During your stay, you will have the opportunity to discover the real Vienna off
the beaten tourist tracks. You might encounter the traditions and peculiarities, the open minds but
also the sceptic views of the city’s inhabitants. Maybe you will come to the conclusion that Vienna
can be labeled neither an eastern nor a western European city as such a vast number of different
cultures have left their imprints in past centuries to create its special identity. Last but not least
Vienna is also an important academic location in Europe. Apart from a number of renowned
universities and the FH Campus Wien, several other universities of applied sciences have been
established in recent years.
