Research at the University for Continuing Education Krems is focused on current and future societal challenges. In a transdisciplinary approach, we build bridges between basic research and practical application, between individual disciplines and – as a public university for continuing education – even more so towards society.

Current Research Report
Transdisciplinarity
The University for Continuing Education Krems is particularly focused on societal challenges and developments. It combines basic and applied research and, in the interest of transdisciplinarity, links research in the individual disciplines with knowledge from outside the academic field. Transdisciplinarity addresses issues of great importance to society as a whole.
Interfaculty Research
The interfaculty research groups at the University for Continuing Education Krems work on topics of high societal relevance across disciplinary boundaries. All research groups have a clear connection to aspects of continuing education research.

Support for research
The researchers are supported by the Office for Research Services and the Office for Grant Acquisition, two offices working together closely to provide a comprehensive range of information and support for the acquisition of third-party funding at the regional, national and European/international level.
The University for Continuing Education Krems also offers funding for the initiation of EU projects and the opportunity for researchers to enter new research fields through interfaculty research groups, thus providing a comprehensive support program.
Promotion of young scientists
Qualified young scientists are essential for the performance and research quality of a university. The promotion of young dedicated researchers - in the course of PhD studies or career positions for instance - is thus one of the core concerns of the University for Continuing Education Krems.
Ongoing training programs are further components aimed at promoting the next generation of researchers. The development of women's academic careers in research is supported through targeted mentoring programs.
