TU Wien (Technische Universität Wien; Technical University of Vienna) is a public research university in Vienna, Austria, focused on engineering, natural sciences, and technology. Founded in 1815, it is one of Europe’s established technical universities, with strong programs in chemical and process engineering, materials science, physics, computer science, and mechanical and electrical engineering.
For the chemical industry, TU Wien’s institutes conduct research in catalysis, reaction engineering, process systems engineering, polymer and materials chemistry, energy and environmental technologies, and circular economy topics. The university operates advanced laboratories and pilot-scale facilities, collaborates with industrial partners and public research organizations, and supports technology transfer through patents and spin-offs. TU Wien contributes to standards, education, and workforce development through degree programs, continuing education, and applied research projects.
A pilot project proves diaper waste can be gasified into raw materials, reducing waste and enabling circularity in chemical production.
