Research

MODUL University Vienna acknowledges itself as a research oriented educational institution according to Humboldt’s educational ideals. The university’s profile primarily consists of an outstanding reputation in research within its areas of specialization, and through that, it makes innovative and future-oriented learning possible.

MU Vienna wants to overcome the institutionalized separation between fundamental research, which is ostensibly dedicated to the object of its activities without regard to its usability, and applied research, which is carried out with a view on direct applicability in daily life. Like other leading national and international universities, MU Vienna has, in its initial stage of development, established a platform for industry research. It has done so in order to enable permeability between fundamental and applied research as well as to enable a precise, visible representation to the public. The goal of MODUL Research GmbH is, on one hand, to communicate the practical relevance of the fundamental research of the industry that is conducted at MU Vienna in a suitable manner, and on the other hand, to compile concrete solution approaches for problems within companies and society.
