World University Service (WUS) Austria increases quality in higher education in accordance with international standards through project development, project management, networking and consulting services.
We support universities in reform processes, particularly with regard to the principles of the European Higher Education Area. This includes curriculum development, change management and organizational development, quality assurance, and internationalization of higher education.
Higher education plays a significant role in (regional) economy, so our projects aim to enhance the universities’ impact on society and their link to the labour market. To this end we support the creation of structural instruments for research & development, practice-oriented education and lifelong learning.
We are committed to the promotion of the human right to education on the basis of academic freedom and university autonomy. For us this means that education must be accessible for all, as well as of good quality.
Our expertise includes over 30 years in fundraising and project design, as well as management and evaluation of international projects and events. In these fields we provide trainings for partners and stakeholders, consulting in project development and implementation.
