Overview of Regional Networks

• Network DC Service Styria - Carinthia

Five Styrian and one Carinthian higher education institutions have established the joint network DC Service Styria - Carinthia to create synergies for optimal utilisation.

• DC Service Support of WWTF

The primary goal of the DC Service Support of WWTF is to connect member organisations from research and academia in the Vienna metropolitan area to improve support for dual career couples. The target group for advisory services consists of the partners of recently (or continuously) appointed senior academic staff of the member organisations.

• DC Service Network Upper Austria - Salzburg - Tyrol (DC OOE-S-T)

In 2017, the three universities in Austria’s central and western federal states founded the DC Service Network Upper Austria - Salzburg - Tyrol (DC OOE-S-T). The network operates informally, without its own organisational structure, is flexible in its approach, quick to respond to inquiries, and open to new members (currently six members). Membership requires signing a declaration of intent outlining the rights and obligations of membership. More information is available at: University of Innsbruck | Johannes Kepler University Linz | University of Salzburg.
