The Medical University of Vienna (briefly: MedUni Vienna) is one of the most traditional medical training and research facilities in Europe. It is today the most significant medical training institute in the German-speaking area. With its 26 university hospitals, three clinical institutes, 12 academic medical centers, and numerous highly specialized laboratories, it is included among the most relevant cutting-edge research institutes of Europe in the area of biomedicine. Its laboratory building with highly specialized "Core Facilities" was inaugurated in June 2010 with the "Anna Spiegel Research Building."
Founded in 1365 as a Medical Faculty of the University of Vienna, the MedUni Vienna is now one of the world's largest and most renowned medical universities.
As one of the most innovative medical universities in Europe, MedUni Vienna consistently strives to attract the brightest minds to further medical research, impart forward-thinking knowledge, and ensure the best possible and most advanced care for patients.
The university management of MedUni Vienna consists of Rectorate, Senate and University Council. The Rectorate manages the business concerns of the Medical University of Vienna. It consists of a Rector and four Vice-Rectors for the Research and Innovation, Finance, Clinical Affairs, and Education Divisions.
The Senate comprises 13 representatives from among the University's professors, six representatives of university teaching and research staff, one representative of the general university staff, and six student representatives, either elected or appointed.
The Medical University's collections on the history of medicine are unique in Europe. They represent the 650 years of this institution and its cultural heritage. The overall cultural heritage of the Medical University of Vienna is among the largest collections in the world. It consists of many different areas - e.g., architecture, teaching materials, instruments, manuscripts, literature, archival material, and images.
The early Classicist Josephinum, built-in 1785 under Joseph II on Waehringer Strasse, is the architectural highlight of the collections of MedUni Vienna. It has a special significance as the gateway to the history of medicine: Not just due to the historical, architectural, and cultural value of the building and its original collections but also as an institution that administers, processes, and conveys the entire historical holdings of MedUni Vienna.
The rich cultural heritage of MedUni Vienna stands out because the holdings have evolved over many centuries, and they are presented to the public through exhibitions. The building, designed by Isidor Carnevale today, houses the Museum for Anatomical Wax Models. With the collections of La Specola in Florence, it is among the largest of its kind in Europe. The collections of the Josephinum are open to the public.
The Medical University of Vienna is a long-established international cutting-edge university for medicine and a research hub and an innovation driver for medical sciences – in the triad of the triple track of research, education, and patient care.
At one of the largest and most innovative academic medical institutions in Europa, the brightest minds are at work to promote scientific research, impart forward-looking knowledge, and to ensure the best possible care for patients. For this, the University uses and actively promotes cooperation.
The researchers from all over the world working at MedUni Vienna are also attracted by the diversity that is lived and promoted here. Additional vital benefits are measures to promote skilled researchers as well as performance-oriented career models for physicians.
The goal of MedUni Vienna is to continue the successful path in the General Hospital, as confirmed by excellent ratings. In addition to joint operational management, the centerpiece is the planning of three supplementary research centers at MedUni Campus General Hospital, one Center for Precision Medicine, one Center for Translational Medicine, and one Technology Transfer Center.
