Vienna municipal council decides on funding for women and education projects
The Vienna municipal council will meet next Wednesday to advise on a number of significant grants and measures. This session, which is scheduled for November 20, is mainly shaped by initiatives that support women and special projects for girls and gender -specific topics.
In the current hour, the important topic "16 days against violence on women. Vienna - City of women: strong, safe, confident." are in focus. Brought in by the SPÖ, this debate prepares the way for the upcoming week of action against violence, which will take place throughout Austria from November 25th and worldwide.
funding for women's projects
Another important decision concerns the Israelite cultural community (IKG), which receives 200,000 euros for 2025. These funds are intended to support the cultural work of the community. In addition, the "Jewish Welcome Service Vienna" is funded, which offers a visitor program for those interested in Jewish worldwide to bring you closer to today's Jewish life in Vienna.
For the universities of applied sciences in Vienna, there is also a significant support. The city has supported the further development of the university of applied sciences in Vienna since 2005, and 30 million euros are planned for the coming years from 2025 to 2034, with up to 950,000 euros per project. This is a step to ensure a practice -oriented training that meets the needs of the labor market.
investments in educational measures
The city of Vienna also plans to provide special grants for kindergartens by 2029 in order to optimize access to early childhood education for children with increased need for childcare. This measure is to be realized by a financial surcharge per group, which makes it easier for the facilities to change the personnel key or reduce group size. Depending on the childcare requirement, grants of up to 2,003.76 euros can be granted.
Another project that will be discussed in the coming years concerns the promotion of bicycle and scooter parking systems in public space. This funding will be extended by two years to 2026, with an amount of one million euros available for this initiative.
Finally, an important innovation in the Electricity Economic Act is discussed. It is planned to abolish the notification obligation for smaller photovoltaic systems with up to 15 kW performance, while the procedures for larger systems should be facilitated. This could help promote the use of renewable energies such as solar energy in Vienna and increase the number of installed systems.
For a more comprehensive insight into the planned funding and resolutions, it is worth taking a look at the current information, as reported by www.meinbeinbezirk.at .
