TU Wien ( TUW ; alemán : Technische Universität Wien ; todavía [2] conocida en inglés como la Universidad Tecnológica de Viena de 1975 a 2014) [3] es una de las principales universidades de Viena , Austria. [4] La universidad ha recibido un amplio reconocimiento nacional e internacional en la docencia y en la investigación, y es un socio muy estimado de las empresas orientadas a la innovación. [5] Actualmente tiene alrededor de 28.100 estudiantes (29% mujeres), ocho facultades y alrededor de 5.000 miembros del personal (3.800 académicos).

La docencia e investigación de la universidad se centra en la ingeniería , la informática y las ciencias naturales . La oferta educativa de la universidad ha alcanzado un amplio reconocimiento internacional y nacional. [6]

Historia [ editar ]

La institución fue fundada en 1815 por el emperador Francisco I de Austria como el kk Polytechnische Institut ( Instituto Politécnico Imperial-Real ). El primer rector fue Johann Joseph von Prechtl . Fue renombrada como Technische Hochschule ( Facultad de Tecnología ) en 1872. Cuando comenzó a otorgar títulos de doctorado y grados superiores en 1975, pasó a llamarse Technische Universität Wien ( Universidad Tecnológica de Viena ). [3]

Reputación académica [ editar ]

TU Wien es una de las universidades de tecnología más prestigiosas del mundo al presentar un nivel superior de investigación y educación. [7] TU Wien se encuentra entre las universidades técnicas más exitosas de Europa y es la institución educativa y de investigación científico-técnica más grande de Austria. [8] Como universidad de tecnología, TU Wien cubre un amplio espectro de conceptos científicos desde la investigación pura abstracta y los principios fundamentales de la ciencia hasta la investigación tecnológica aplicada y la asociación con la industria. [9] Durante 200 años, TU Wien ha sido un lugar de investigación, enseñanza y aprendizaje al servicio del progreso. [8]

TU Wien ocupa el puesto 192 en el QS World University Ranking a partir de 2020, y se encuentra entre las mejores 251 a 300 instituciones de educación superior a nivel mundial según el Times Higher Education World University Rankings . A lo largo de los años, la universidad ha mantenido un buen posicionamiento de sus departamentos de Ingeniería e Informática. Este último ha sido clasificado constantemente entre los 80 mejores departamentos de ciencias de la computación en el mundo por el QS World University Ranking [10] y The Times Higher Education World University Rankings [11] respectivamente. En 2014, US News clasificó a Ciencias de la Computación en TU Wien como el número 14 en Europa, igualando el número 3 dentro de las universidades de habla alemana. [12]

Organization[edit]

TU Wien has eight faculties led by deans: Architecture and Planning, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Computer Sciences, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Mathematics and Geoinformation, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and Physics.

The University is led by the Rector and four Vice Rectors (responsible for Research, Academic Affairs, Finance as well as Human Resources and Gender). The Senate has 26 members. The University Council, consisting of seven members, acts as a supervisory board.

Research[edit]

Development work in almost all areas of technology is encouraged by the interaction between basic research and the different fields of engineering sciences at TU Wien. Also, the framework of cooperative projects with other universities, research institutes and business sector partners is established by the research section of TU Wien. TU Wien has sharpened its research profile by defining competence fields and setting up interdisciplinary collaboration centres, and clearer outlines will be developed.

Research focus points of TU Wien are introduced as computational science and engineering, quantum physics and quantum technologies, materials and matter, information and communication technology and energy and environment.

The EU Research Support (EURS) provides services at TU Wien and informs both researchers and administrative staff in preparing and carrying out EU research projects.
