of Graz, Austria, 15-17 October 2008
Founded in 1585 as one of the oldest universities in Central
Europe, the University of Graz (UG) was and still is a home for
numerous famous scientists. Its long academic tradition encompassing
a wide range of disciplines has resulted in many revolutionary discoveries.
With over 21.000 students and 3000 staff members, UG is one of the
largest universities in Austria offering more than 40 bachelor,
master and doctoral degrees. As a comprehensive university it concentrates
on the core activities of research and education at 5 faculties
(Catholic Theology, Law, Humanities, Social Sciences & Economics,
Natural Sciences).
UG is a public higher education institution with a strong international
profile. Close ties with almost 500 universities world-wide form
the basis for the mobility of students, faculty and staff and numerous
joint projects in teaching and research as well as organizational
and curriculum development. UG also profits from visits of guest
professors and guest researchers who contribute significantly to
the internationalisation of the institution. By participating in
various educational programs and networks within the EU, UG co-operates
successfully with about 300 European partner institutions.
On the European level, UG can look back on a successful decade participating
in the SOCRATES programme, supporting the mobility of students and
teachers and taking part in a wide number of projects. UG has a
strong commitment to the aims of the Bologna Process and the creation
of a European Higher Education Area.
