Visionaries invited

We cordially invite you to dive into the fascinating world of electron microscopy to join us in a major joint effort: the purchase of two microscopes of the latest generation.

TU Wien Foundation is committed to ensuring excellent research. The main research instrument here is the transmission electron microscope. An instrument for many disciplines.

With your Help, new technical Milestones can be realised

A look at the miniscule elements gives important insight into very big things and also correlates with the motto of the TU Wien Foundation: “Science for a better world.” The aim is to be equipped with optimal scientific infrastructure for future technical and societal challenges.

Scientific recognition via ground-breaking research enables a dominant position to be taken, thereby strengthening Austria as a research location and increasing the competitiveness of TU Wien.

Your Donation

Supporting outstanding researchers in their projects and thus giving society access to solutions that might not have developed in traditional research structures – no less is the goal of the TU Wien Foundation.
