S – Social responsibility
Campus culture & diversity
We firmly believe that different perspectives promote innovation and that respectful cooperation forms the basis for scientific progress. That is why diversity is enshrined in our statutes and shapes our daily work – from human resources policy to teaching.
Since 2025, we have held the equalitA seal of approval from the Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy – an award for fair career paths and active promotion of women. In addition, we have been recognised as a family-friendly company in Lower Austria. With women making up 66% of our workforce and 58% of management positions (in the organisation), we are sending a clear signal for equality. All employees complete mandatory training on unconscious bias in order to recognise unconscious thought patterns and consciously embrace diversity. In addition, the Commission for Equality and the Advancement of Women, a disability officer and a contact point for equal treatment issues ensure an inclusive environment.

Health & Well-being
As a health university, we bear special responsibility for the well-being of our employees and students. We create conditions that enable a healthy work-life balance: over 150 part-time models, flexible flexitime and a paid lunch break are just a few examples.
Our occupational health management ranges from ergonomic workplaces and regular back fitness courses to discounted sports programmes. Since 2024, an occupational integration management programme has been supporting employees returning to work after long periods of sick leave.
Education & Engagement
In addition to our commitment to excellence in teaching, we are involved in numerous initiatives that bring science to life:
Formats such as the Long Night of Research, the Maimonides Lectures and the Fit4Reanimation project bring research to the public and make a direct contribution to healthcare. In the past financial year, our employees also invested 3,412 hours in external training courses – from specialist conferences to international Erasmus+ programmes. In this way, we aim not only to promote personal development, but also to transfer knowledge to society.
