Interdisciplinary Transformation University (IT:U)

IT:U – Austria’s first interdisciplinary university merging technology, hands-on learning, and global problem solving

IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria, offers a hands-on, project-based education where students from diverse backgrounds use technology like AI and robotics to solve real-world challenges. Committed to inclusion and innovation, IT:U promotes lifelong learning and sustainable development, empowering students to make a positive impact globally.

Driving digital transformation at IT:U

IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria is one of the first public universities in Europe dedicated to digitalization and digital transformation. On our campus in Linz, Austria, we offer our students a project-based and inclusive approach to technical education.

Students from a wide range of disciplines learn digital skills they can use in their field to tackle global challenges. The rapid acceleration of climate change and recent pandemic outbreaks are only two major examples out of a wide range of intensive or disruptive changes. At our digital transformation university, we empower our students to be the interdisciplinary, computationally empowered transformers of tomorrow.

Interdisciplinary learning at our digital transformation university

From climate change to public health, our global community faces complex challenges. However, these challenges also open up opportunities and possibilities. Science is the key to creating sustainable solutions. To be successful in finding these solutions, scientists have to work together across disciplines and embrace computational methods.

Interdisciplinary efforts and digitalization are necessary for a global transformation. IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria integrates these approaches into innovative learning methods and follows an ongoing process to learn from international examples and global collaborations.

We research, teach, and learn things that matter – to you and to the world. Our digital transformation university is part of a global movement towards interdisciplinary research and project-based learning that will stretch in its final expansion from the US to Asia, and from Scandinavia to emerging universities in the UK.
