Geologists from the University of Salzburg are greatly benefiting from the recently concluded science agreement between Iran and Austria. At least three new cooperation-projects are planned. The expertise of the Salzburg geologists in the discovery of gold or rare earths is, for example, very much in demand in Iran. Rare earth elements/metals are among the most coveted raw materials in the world.

Under the title “Open for Collaboration”, the Austrian universities announce which technologies are available for cooperation. Approximately 100 research infrastructures currently are available at the University of Salzburg.

The Austrian Network for Migration History (ÖNM) recently expanded and enriched the research profile of the Department of History with its research, exhibition, collection and publication activities within the framework of historical migration research. At the same time, the network is the Research Center of Migration, Labor and Urban Studies, which is also located at the Department of History.
