Commitment, ambition, networking. At the FH Salzburg there are several initiatives BY and FOR students. The topics range from sustainability and climate protection to IT and society.
UIF Fellows
The UIF Program is an innovation and entrepreneurship education programme of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford University in California. The programme is for students of all departments at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences and aims at sustainable development in the field of "University Innovation". Students have the opportunity to participate in the forward-looking programme of the renowned d.school and to constructively set impulses for the further development of the core competence of teaching and, above all, to actively shape and implement it. They are supported by "faculty champions".
Society of Women Engineers
Salzburg University of Applied Sciences Society of Women Engineers is dedicated to promoting the visibility of women in engineering professions.
SWE provides our students, alumni and partners a forum to further their professional careers, as we educate the next generation of engineers to meet society's needs in Information Technology and Systems Management, MultiMediaTechnology, Forest Products Technology and Smart Buildings.
Scientists4Future - Students4Future
The consequences of climate change are being felt dramatically in many areas of life. From more frequent weather extremes, storms, floods to dry periods and crop failures. This affects us in Salzburg just as much as in supposedly more vulnerable distant regions. OUR livelihoods are at stake. Therefore, we must act NOW to ensure a healthy and livable future for all.
For this reason of urgency, students at the University of Salzburg have come together to form Students For Future Salzburg.
"As students we have great potential for positive change. We can put pressure on politicians to pass necessary legislation. We can implement changes at our universities to make Salzburg even "greener" and more sustainable as an educational location. And of course, we can each individually make a difference by striving for a sustainable lifestyle ourselves."

Curiositas
Curiositas is an association that promotes critical thinking. It offers students and interested parties a platform for exchanging ideas and discussing megatrends and consumer decisions. Therefore, regular event series are organised and implemented by the students to discuss and reflect on significant topics together with experts. In addition to the series of events, market research is also carried out to prepare the students to make reflective management and consumption decisions in the future.
klubkuchl
In 2016, students at the Kuchl campus founded the "klubkuchl". The club is an initiative by students for students.
Erasmus Student Network (ESN)
Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is one of the biggest interdisciplinary student associations in Europe, founded in 1989 for supporting and developing student exchange.
