Medical University of Innsbruck: Rector Fleischhacker receives honor

Wolfgang Fleischhacker, the rector of the Medical University of Innsbruck, received an outstanding award on Saturday evening as part of a solemn act on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the University in Hall in Tyrol. He was honored with the "Great Golden Medal of Honor for Services around the Republic", which is one of the highest honors in the state.

The honor rewardes its significant achievements as a rector, in particular his contributions in the field of psychiatry and its research in this field. His efforts to treat the gender equal treatment were also recognized, an indication of his commitment beyond the academic environment.

meaning of the award

The award was presented by Martin Netzer, the Secretary General in the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research, on behalf of Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen. Fleischhacker, the 71-year-old, has held the management of the Med Uni Innsbruck since 2017 and his term runs until the end of September 2025.

It is important to mention that the rector in the last vote on his re -ordering in the Senate could not achieve the necessary two -thirds majority, which challenges his time at the top of the university. Nevertheless, his award remains a sign of recognizing his previous work and success. In the science and research community, his contribution is considered formative.

The University of Innsbruck and its environment appreciate the management of butchers, and the honor is an expression of respect he has won for his services to the academic community. Due to his performance, his leadership will also be observed in the coming months, while his mandate is coming to an end. Many hope that his work will also inspire future leaders and have a sustainable influence on the university.
