WISSENSwert
Since 2009, the University of Innsbruck has been summarising topics from "Wissen heute" and the "Unizeitung" under the title "wissenswert".
It provides information on the achievements and findings of academics and reports on interesting aspects of the University of Innsbruck.
"wissenswert" is enclosed with the Tiroler Tageszeitung.
With the support of the Office for Public Relations, the HILUC-Team was able to present itself and its project with initial results and the field work.
