Description (eng)
The present paper deals with cooperation opportunities of the University of Applied Sciences
St. Pölten in its social environment and focuses on the desired framework conditions and the
role understanding of the university. Building on the strategy paper "Strategy 2025 - We
contribute to society as an engaged university" and the visions of E³UDRES², it looks at the
positions and ideas of the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten through qualitative
interviews and examines them from a social spatial perspective. It becomes apparent that
social cooperations are desired and supported, that sustainability, diversity, resource
preservation, and that added value for society and the University are important factors, and
that concrete structures for selection and transparency of framework still need to be
established.
