101 employees – and still growing

13.05.2024

A reason to celebrate: In April 2024, the Team Sternwarte welcomed its hundred and first member. This is the first time the number of employees at the Department of Astrophysics has exceeded one hundred!

The department has seen a strong increase in personnel in recent years and is particularly international: Half of our team comes from a country other than Austria - from Australia and South Africa to Cyprus and Portugal, with a total of 22 nations represented. In addition to the numerous researchers, the Team Sternwarte also includes external lecturers and student staff as well as colleagues in the areas of administration and IT. 

At the moment, additional offices are being built to provide more comfortable workplaces for all employees. We are looking forward to welcoming further new team members in the future!
