Eisenstadt/Pinkafeld, 27 April 2026. 32 visitors from international partner universities accepted the invitation to get to know Burgenland University of Applied Sciences and its campuses in Eisenstadt and Pinkafeld from 20 to 24 April as part of International Week 2026. The guests came from 12 countries and 19 universities, including Georgia from Ilia State University, Finnland from Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences and Slovenia from Euro-Mediterranean University, as well as from Finland, Montenegro and Turkey.
The week was dedicated to international networking and learning from each other across borders. The programme included lectures on diversity, interculturality and artificial intelligence. The guests' leisure programme included an evening with tamburizza music and regional delicacies and an excursion to Rust. The week came to an ideal end with the Long Night of Research on 24 April.
International Week is a highlight at our university and an excellent opportunity to raise international awareness of our wide range of courses, our expertise and Burgenland as a place to study. Our students, teaching staff and researchers benefit from this when it comes to further developing themselves together with partner universities in everyday study programmes and as part of EU projects.
