Address- Foreword
With this brochure I invite you to explore our university by
the numbers. Without a doubt our students, faculty and
staff continued to show strength and achieve excellence in
teaching, learning and research.
Significant progress and exceptional accomplishments have
been made in key priority areas by our community. As an
illustration, through collaborative efforts, we achieved
the publication of approximately 1,500 articles in leading
international journals (of which 81% are freely available
online) and secured over 72 million euros in external
funding in 2023. The high appeal to international students
(51%) and a share of almost 69% of publications in Web
of Science with international co-authors are a remarkable
testament to our university’s international focus and
recognition.
An exciting first year lies behind the new Rectorate of the
University of Innsbruck. We are convinced that together
with all members of our university we will succeed in
consolidating the role of our alma mater as one of the
largest and best performing educational institutions in
Austria.
Univ.-Prof. Dr. Veronika Sexl
Rector of the Universität Innsbruck

The Bologna Process was designed to harmonize study
programs and to promote student mobility throughout
Europe. The most significant change was the conversion
of the study programs to the three-cycle system Bachelor/
