WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business)

WU is a leading academic institution and one of Europe's most attractive universities in business and economics. It provides space for contemplation and creativity and is a pioneer in research and teaching, all with the goal of increasing economic capability and social prosperity. The WU community takes social responsibility seriously and is characterized by expertise, open-mindedness, and an eagerness to make a difference. Open-mindedness and diversity were already among the university's key values at WU's founding in 1898. WU is committed to the principles of fairness and equal opportunities, scientific integrity, academic freedom, and especially plurality in topics and methodology. True to its role as an open-minded institution, WU also sees itself as an international university, as an important hub for global exchange, and as a place where people work together on equal footing.
