Congratulations, but sadly scholars who’ve contributed to this success are forced to leave the university after 8 years due to the chain contract regulation. Almost 90% of academic staff live and work precariously—are on limited contracts because the @univie.ac.at does not offer permanent positions
University of Vienna is among the Top 100 in the World University Ranking by @timeshighered.bsky.social for the first time, at rank 95! 🥳 This strengthens visibility & international connections for outstanding researchers and students worldwide. #univie #THERanking 👉 www.univie.ac.at/en/news/deta...
