Changes

There are over 100 courses related to Innovation and Entrepreneurship, as well as interdisciplinary courses in all departments where students can gain awareness of this topic. To develop hands-on skills and design thinking mindset, students can work in different on-campus Labs, participate in workshops, and yearly organized Hackathons. Moreover, there is a Startup Center that has the goal: “Salzburg is becoming Austria’s most important startup region – and Salzburg University of Applied Sciences is becoming the most entrepreneur-friendly university in the region.”

In June 2022 the new research building "Twin²Sim" officially opened at the campus Kuchl. With its scientific possibilities, the experimental building not only corresponds to the current state of the art, but is also constructed as an energy-efficient, structural timber building. The aim is to develop solutions for technical building systems, components, building envelopes and multi-functional façades, to test them metrologically in experiments and to develop them further.
