Higher Education Development
Within this area WUS Austria supports universities in their reform processes, particularly with regard to the principles of the European Higher Education Area.
- Curriculum Development
- Quality Assurance

- Academic Mobility & Cooperation
Linking Higher Education & Economy
Taking into account that higher education plays a significant role in (regional) economy, this area contains projects that enhance the positive impact universities may have on the development of a region.
Arts & Culture
Programs in the area of Arts and Culture support the international cooperation and knowledge transfer in projects connected to the arts and in cultural projects in South-Eastern Europe. Establishing links to higher Education is also one of the goals of the programs in this field.
Higher Education & Human Rights
Ever since the foundation of WUS Austria, the incorporation of human rights into higher education has been one of its key activities. From the development of Human Rights Curricula and conduction of Human Rights Trainings to the establishment of Human Rights Centres at universities in Former Yugoslav Republics and setting up a number of networking activities between them, WUS Austria has become an advocate of Human Rights Education as a pillar of an academic environment based on mutual cooperation and academic freedom.
