About

World University Service (WUS) Austria is a politically independent, non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing the right to education. In an era where education plays an increasingly pivotal role in comprehending intricate social, political, cultural, and global issues, as well as in addressing the conflicts of the 21st century, WUS Austria places the pursuit of quality education for all at the forefront of its mission. Our projects aim at equipping learners with the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes necessary for active engagement in addressing global challenges and fostering proactive efforts towards a more just world.

WUS Austria strives to enhance the quality of education in alignment with international standards through project development, project management, networking, and consulting services. Guided by principles such as local capacity building, sustainability, local ownership, global citizenship education, and empowerment, we collaborate with a diverse array of partners, including higher education institutions, schools, public bodies (such as ministries and accreditation agencies), NGOs, and companies at national, regional, European, and international levels. Our commitment to quality assurance and the enduring impact of project results remains a focal point of our efforts.
