Universities are increasingly required to address societal challenges in teaching and research as their third mission (TM). We took an educational-psychological approach to assessing parameters which support university members in setting goals and taking action for TM activities. For that purpose, we conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with the deans of all 19 faculties at the University of Vienna assessing opinions and recommendations related to the TM. In addition, we conducted interviews with 23 TM actors and a university-wide online survey to capture current TM activities. Key requirements for implementing the TM were improved visibility and explicit appreciation of related activities.

Keynote at the "Erasmus+ Day", 10.05.2017
Education beyond teaching: Third mission of universities
Erasmus is well known for students' mobility and its contribution to the European idea. Less known is the fact that under the label Erasmus+ the European Commission is an important promoter of international cooperation for many different educational projects: For instance the development of new curricula, learning and teaching materials and the modernization of higher education infrastructure and systems. But there are also programs to promote the European idea and help refugees to continue their education, especially at the university level.
Many of these things are now also known as the Third Mission of Universities and this evening should celebrate the Erasmus idea but also discuss critically the role of Universities and their societal responsibilities.
Press meeting, 15. December
Research for and with society - Third Mission at the University of Vienna
On the occasion of its 650th anniversary, the University of Vienna demonstrated the relevance and benefits of research and teaching for the further development of society and for the education of future generations. The anniversary not only created identity, it also brought the University of Vienna closer to society and economy. As a consistent continuation of this initiative, the Rectorate has commissioned a project team to systematically survey existing Third Mission activities in order to formulate a strategy for the coming years.

1. Interim report
First interim report of the project
At large and heterogeneous universities such as the University of Vienna, many employees are usually involved in Third Mission activities. However, these are often little known, not systematically documented and hardly networked. Against this background, the project "Third Mission of the University of Vienna" was commissioned by the Rectorate (project duration: March 2016 - February 2018). The starting point was the University of Vienna's clear commitment to the Third Mission in the development plan (German) 2020.
The first interim report of the project is available here: interim report (German) 2016
