University - School

The team members of the Institute for Business Education of WU Wien are active in many social and economic fields of action, whereby, due to the thematic focus on teaching and research, the fields of cooperation with initial vocational education and training in Austria, specifically with Section I (General and Vocational Education and Training) in the Federal Ministry for Education, the Vienna Education Directorate as well as the other education directorates and numerous BMHS (e.g. official partner schools) - with a focus on Eastern Austria - are particularly pronounced and diverse.

Based on curricula, textbooks often take on the role of a "hidden curriculum" in everyday teaching. Against this background, the influence of textbook authors from the Institute for Business Education on the school reality for teaching business subjects is extensive and lasting, e.g. Wirtschaftsinformatik HAK IV/V Klarer Fall! by Wolfgang Apfler, Rainer Baier and Harald Hackl.

The close cooperation between the Institute for Business Education at WU Wien and BMHS is also documented by the fact that a large part of the team is involved in continuing education for teachers and, conversely, selected teachers work as lecturers at WU Wien.
