At the Medical University of Graz, we have a common strategy and vision:
“Pioneering Minds – Research and Education for Patients’ Health and Well-being”
This means that all our actions are characterized by an attitude based on scientific research and a focus on the individual. We see a human being as a unique physical, mental and emotional entirety including his or her social environment. This attitude provides the foundation and direction for clinical, translational and basic research, student education and postgraduate training and ultimately results in the best patient care.
The Medical University of Graz strives to maintain, restore and improve the health and well-being of its patients on the basis of scientific expertise and research. Each core task of Med Uni Graz—clinical, translational and basic research; student education; postgraduate training and patient care—follows this guiding principle.
All people at Med Uni Graz contribute to the realization of this principle: doctors, researchers, teachers, students and other staff members. They see themselves as pioneering minds.
The success of a university is based on an academic environment characterized by cooperation, commitment, empathy, transparency, and innovation. This is not currently the case in all areas of our university. It is therefore a central concern of the Rectorate to promote a culture of cooperation and encourage our employees to take responsibility and pursue innovative approaches.
Academic freedom in practice, coupled with an academic culture supported by all, forms the basis for university development. By living these principles and placing them at the center of our actions, we are shaping a future in which research and education serve the health and well-being of our patients: pioneering, innovative, and sustainable.
Med Uni Graz is taking advantage of its existing potential and the optimal infrastructure of MED CAMPUS, ZWT I and II and University Hospital and developing them into Medical Science City Graz.
