CLIMATE CHANGE
More than 100 research groups from all eight faculties of TU Wien deal with one of the greatest challenges of our time, climate change. Only optimal interdisciplinary networking creates the conditions for the development of innovative ideas and solutions. These use economics, science and administration for effective decision-making. And that helps us all.
