Global Perspectives

Exchanging Ideas

The opportunity to go abroad gives WU faculty and staff fresh perspectives for their work. Incoming guest researchers and lecturers bring diversity to our campus.

Going Abroad with Erasmus+

The EU’s Erasmus+ program is not just for students. Faculty and administrative staff members are also eligible for these EU grants, giving them a chance to check out how colleagues around the world perform their jobs and bring home new ideas for their own work. New in 2017: Department staff like program coordinators and department managers are now also eligible for mobility funding.

In the 2016/17 academic year, eleven faculty members and 13 members of the administrative staff went abroad with Erasmus+ funding.

Fulbright Chairs at WU

The Fulbright Program, named after US Senator James W. Fulbright (1905–1995), is one of the most well-known and renowned mobility programs for US scholars. The program’s objective is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Applicants are subject to a stringent selection process conducted by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars on behalf of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State.

WU has two Fulbright Chairs, the Fulbright-WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business) Visiting Professor (previously called the Fulbright-Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration Distinguished Chair), assigned to a different WU department every year, and the Fulbright-Kathryn and Craig Hall Distinguished Chair for Entrepreneurship in Central Europe, assigned permanently to the Department of Strategy and Innovation.

Elizabeth Strom (University of South Florida) came to WU in the 2017 summer semester as a Fulbright-WU Visiting Professor, teaching Community Engagement and Urban Development, Real Estate Economics and Location, and other courses at the Department of Socioeconomics. Elizabeth  Strom’s research focuses mainly on city planning. Both as a scholar and as a visitor, she was attracted to Vienna, a city that manages to balance growth and preservation and that offers a very high quality of life while remaining relatively affordable to a mix of people, especially compared to other European capital cities.

“WU has a strong international presence and is very welcoming to visiting scholars. I was also intrigued by the new campus, which is in itself an example of the kind of urban development initiative I intend to study.”
