The Austrian universities of applied sciences have established themselves as a reliable and accountable partner for business and industry as well as society at large. The selected contributions on construction and reality - this year s forum topic - are representative of the 20 institutions in this higher education sector.

Research projects presented at the Forum cover topics from the fields of new media, model computer simulations, virtual worlds and rating procedures, documenting thus the role of universities of applied sciences as an interface between theory-based model solutions and their real-world implementations.

The interdisciplinary exchange of expertise between renowned representatives from research, industry and society provides the ideal platform to discuss the 'opportunities and potential strengths of research at universities of applied sciences'.

The Universities of Applied Sciences Forum is targeted at all stakeholders in the field of higher education, researchers, industry partners, media representatives as well as students.
