Faculty
The Faculty of Chemistry’s main site at Währinger Straße 38–42 has a history of more than a century of chemical research and teaching. Established in its current form in 2004, the Faculty is one of the University of Vienna’s 20 organisational units. Today, more than 550 researchers, teachers, technical staff and administrative staff work across four locations, covering a broad range of modern chemical research and teaching.
This page provides an overview of the Faculty’s structure, management and committees, administration and services, as well as key contacts and useful information.
