Network of Areas (NoA)

In the context of increasing globalisation, the targeted scientific examination of different regions of the world is of central importance. For this purpose, the University of Innsbruck maintains international cooperations with universities, networks, and other research associations. The Network of Areas (NoA) brings together perspectives on selected regions of the world and examines socially relevant topics and regional challenges.

The Network of Areas at the University of Innsbruck aims to promote international exchange, to develop regional focal areas and strategic partnerships in the areas of research, teaching and third mission and to invigorate these using innovative formats.

For this purpose, we announced an open call for the first time in 2025, which was open throughout the university. Funding was provided for addressing socially relevant topics for a specific region and regional challenges in the areas of research, teaching and third mission. Funding criteria included, among others, social relevance, the potential to establish long-term collaboration with regional project partners and an interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary approach. This has resulted in further focal regions.

We understand the current focal areas as global regions that build on specific research projects and activities in teaching and third mission at the University of Innsbruck. Depending on current disciplinary approaches to research, this results in Network Areas that are intended to remain dynamic
