Education engine Hainburg: New campus brings opportunities for the region!

A new chapter in the educational landscape around Hainburg is opened! The planned educational campus should not only create synergies between different educational levels, but also a smooth transition from high school to the university. At yesterday's press conference in the Palais Lower Austria, this “lighthouse project” by Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner (ÖVP) and other leading representatives was referred to as an essential step to strengthen education in the region. The project aims to create space for 480 students here and places a special focus on the promising areas of biotechnology, investment technology as well as green and air conditioning technology. This realignment is particularly relevant after the pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim canceled his planned work in Bruck an der Leitha - an enormous setback for the region, such as noe.orf reported.

Technical University of Vienna moves to Hainburg

Another economic incentive is the new location of the Technical University of Vienna in Hainburg. Rector Jens Schneider sees this a way to bring research closer to society. The country will finance laboratories with a budget of nine million euros to promote young talents. The running costs of around 13 million euros are borne by the state and the federal government. Education Minister Martin Polaschek (ÖVP) explained that this is a sustainable investment in the future. In addition, a special focus of the high school is on natural sciences, which should open up new professional perspectives in particular, as Bilding Councilor Christian Teschl-Hofmeister (ÖVP) emphasized.

The criticism of the planned settlement right next to a Natura 2000 area is replied by Mayor Johannes Gumprecht (ÖVP) with the promise that the nature conservation regulations are strictly observed. The construction for the campus is planned for the coming autumn, with the opening of the first school classes in the school year 2026/27. Alternatives to the urgently needed accommodation of the pupils are currently being examined to ensure that everything is being implemented in good time, according to the current reports of tu wien.at .
