UNIVIE Awards

UNIVIE Research Awards for Students of the Faculty of Computer Science

The research awards aim to highlight the research achievements of outstanding Bachelor’s and Master’s students. 

The prize money is intended to enable students to actively participate in international academic conferences.

What is funded

The awards cover travel expenses for students attending academic conferences. In the case of journal publications, other publication costs or participation in a conference without presenting a publication may also be funded. The exact prize amount depends on the costs incurred. Approximately five awards can be granted per year.

Selection Criteria

The selection process considers the individual contribution of the student, the ranking of the conference, and the promotion of participation by underrepresented groups in the academic community as key criteria.
