Since 2012, UAS Technikum has been a member of the European University Association (EUA). In October 2008, UAS Technikum opened a second location in the passive office building ENERGYbase in Floridsdorf, Vienna and following that, in 2013 a comprehensive expansion of the main location at Höchstädtplatz in Vienna's 20th district Brigittenau was completed.[2]
In December 2015, UAS Technikum was awarded the Erasmus+ Award 2015 in the category of Higher Education.[3] It has also been awarded the first place in the annual UAS ranking conducted by the Austrian Industry Magazine, most notably in 2015[4] and 2021.[5]
With around 12,000 graduates and around 4,400 students, UAS Technikum is the largest provider of technical studies at universities of applied sciences in Austria.[6] It is also a network partner of FEEI (Fachverband der Elektro- und Elektronikindustrie).[7]
In April 2021, FH-Prof. Dr. Sylvia Geyer was appointed to succeed FH-Prof. DI Dr. Fritz Schmöllebeck as the rector of UAS Technikum, acting as of September 1, 2021.[8]
