5. Research at TU Wien – From Basic Research to Applications
Bringing together solid basic research with scientific engineering work across various disciplines on the one hand and project collaboration with other universities, research institutes and businesses
on the other, enables the university to conduct development work in almost all fields of technology. TU Wien has honed its research profile with the definition of five key reseach areas and establishment of cross-sectoral collaboration centres, and is set to intensify its efforts in the continuation of this process.

39. Location
TU Wien has over 9,000 rooms with a gross floor space of over 276,000 square metres. Following the decision to remain at their inner-city site, TU Wien has implemented the »TU UniverCity« project.
This construction initiative will see new research and teaching facilities built, with the TU's faculties centred around 4 main sites in the 4th and 6th districts of Vienna and one »Science Center« laboratory site.

43. Facts & Figures Finance
The lion's share of the university‘s revenue comes from public funding, which is essential for the autonomous status of TU Wien. The University also obtains revenue from research projects (third-party funds) and continuing education. In terms of expenditure, the largest amount is spent on staff and payment of rent. Total assets amount to just almost 257 million euros.
Employees
In an organisation of experts and specialists, the employees are the »assets« which make a difference. This means that staff recruitment and development are key to the university's success. Numerous awards are proof of how good our academics are. The demands placed on staff in general have grown too. TU Wien continues to be involved with apprenticeships. An across-the-board employee appraisal scheme and an ample range of training and further training opportunities are in place with the intention of providing employees with optimal support and encouragement. One major challenge is ensuring equal opportunities for both sexes.
