A Look Back on Pride Month at Technikum

30 June, 2026
An in-house café, participation in the Rainbow Parade, and a research award for which submissions are still being accepted.
Pride Month has long been a fixture on the calendar at UAS Technikum Wien. This year, the activities kicked off with the Pride “Café Olé” for staff and students, organized by Marketing & Communications and Equality Management. Following a welcome address by Rector Sylvia Geyer, attendees enjoyed coffee, juices, snacks, and colorful Pride cupcakes while mingling and getting to know one another. A small raffle for Pride starter kits for the Rainbow Parade further added to the festive atmosphere.

Rainbow Parade 2026
On June 13, UAS Technikum Wien was once again represented by a group of staff and students marching under the Technikum banner alongside the queer@hochschulen float at the Rainbow Parade along Vienna’s Ringstraße. For some, Pride is an annual must-attend event; for others, it was their first time participating. Together, they all stood as a symbol of mutual respect and diversity.
