英文导读

The University of Innsbruck (German: Leopold-Franzens-Universit.t Innsbruck) is a public university in the capital of the Austrian federal state of Tyrol. The history of the University of Innsbruck starts about 100 years before its official foundation in 1669, when in 1562 a Jesuit school/college was established. Emperor Leopold I used this school as a foundation to establish a university on 15 October, 1669. He guaranteed its financing by introducing a new extraordinary tax on salt extracted in Hall, the so called- “Haller Salt Surcharge”. Eight years later in 1677, the founding certificate was issued, which mentioned four faculties. The University of Innsbruck is the main university for the Tyrol, South Tyrol, Vorarlberg and the Principality of Liechtenstein and aims at promoting and facilitating a lively exchange between science and the public. Sustainable academic and social values are the foundation for achieving its goal of having an impact on society. Within the framework of several activities, the university substantiates the assignment it takes on for the society of the region by bringing research, teaching and administrative functions closer to the general public.The University has always been a supporting pillar of the Tyrolean society and has influenced the region tremendously. The importance of its status as a research and educating institution can be seen in the numerous award-winning alumni and current and former scientists teaching and researching at the University. Many scientific cutting-edge discoveries have been made at this institution.
