4 “Days”, 17 Schools, Almost 700 Students

02 February, 2026
UAS Technikum Wien opened its laboratories and lecture halls for Robotics Day, Electronics Day, Energy Day, and Life Science Day.
In January 2026, the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien offered students from AHS, BHS, and HTL schools an insight into studying, research, and practice as part of four themed event days. The events were aimed at school classes and were held by the faculties of Electronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Life Science Engineering, coordinated and supported by the Marketing & Communications department.
Robotics Day: Robotics, Industry 4.0, and everyday student life
On January 22, everything at Höchstädtplatz revolved around the world of robotics for an entire day. Organized by the Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Robotics Day offered an extensive program for around 250 students from several schools in Vienna and Lower Austria.
In addition to campus and laboratory tours, including a tour of the Technikum Digital Factory, students from the bachelor’s program in Mechatronics/Robotics and the master’s program in Robotics Engineering presented their projects. The program was complemented by a company exhibition with industry and cooperation partners.
In practical workshops, participants gained insights into robotics, mechatronics, and electrical engineering—for example, by programming industrial robots, working with digital twins, or soldering and commissioning electronic assemblies. Study counseling and personal consultations rounded off the program.
Electronics Day: Experience, understand, and apply electronics
The diversity of modern electronics was demonstrated at Electronics Day on January 26. The event was organized by the Faculty of Electronic Engineering & Entrepreneurship and brought over 200 students from seven schools (four HTLs and three AHS/grammar schools) to the campus.
After the presentation of the Bachelor Electronics, Bachelor Information and Communication Systems, and Bachelor Mechatronics / Robotics degree programs, the students explored the areas of embedded systems, the Internet of Things, power electronics, and sports technology during laboratory tours.
Participants were able to get hands-on experience at a total of 12 workshop stations, including drones as embedded systems, IoT practical lab: from soldering station to smart city, basics of robotics, hands-on power electronics, and digital business modeling. Each group completed at least three workshops. Balanced meals during two breaks ensured a pleasant atmosphere.
Energy Day: Technologies for the energy transition
At ENERGYbase, the focus on Energy Day on January 28 was on the energy transition. Around 80 students from AHS, HTL, and the FIT Center Vienna took part in the event and were able to learn more about the Bachelor’s in Renewable Energies, Master’s in Renewable Energy Engineering, and Bachelor’s in Hydrogen Technology programs, among other things.
After a welcome by the program directors David Fellner and Peter Muckenhuber, a climate science lecture introduced the physical fundamentals of climate change. The students then visited several theme stations, including green hydrogen, smart grid laboratory, heat pumps, photovoltaic test benches, wind tunnel, and virtual reality for building technology.
In addition, students and student advisors provided information about study opportunities at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien. Energy Day combined scientific fundamentals with concrete technical applications and career prospects.
Life Science Day: From medical technology to environmental research
On Life Science Day on January 29, the Faculty of Life Science Engineering presented key topics and perspectives from study and research. Around 130 students from various AHS and BHS schools took the opportunity to learn about studying and research.
After a welcome by Faculty Director Carina Huber-Gries, the bachelor’s programs in Biomedical Engineering, Sports Engineering and Ergonomics, and Sustainable Environmental and Bioprocess Engineering were presented.
This was followed by interactive workshops on four topics: Chemical Engineering & Ecotoxicology, Cell Technologies & Biomaterials, Medical Engineering & Integrated Healthcare, and Sports Engineering, Biomechanics & Ergonomics. The program was complemented by project stands, including the research project DAME – Fertilizer from Dairy Wastewater, as well as study counseling and discussions with students.
