The University of Vienna invites interested staff and students to its upcoming Circle U. Semester Meeting, scheduled for 4 June 2025, from 10:00 to 12:00, with networking opportunities from 09:30 to 10:00 and 12:00 to 12:30.

Circle U. is an alliance of nine comprehensive European universities working to provide outstanding education, research, and innovation by internationalising and innovating our curricula, diversifying mobility opportunities, as well as by fostering research collaboration and supporting early-career researchers. 

Our regular semester meeting provides a space for sharing updates with the UNIVIE community and exchanging ideas with colleagues who are involved or interested in Circle U. This time, we will have a special focus on joint, innovative teaching in the alliance, including how our staff can get engaged in joint educational activities with other Circle U. partners.
