Faculty for Interdisciplinary Research and Continuing Education

The Faculty for Interdisciplinary Research and Continuing Education (IFF) is one of four faculties at the University of Klagenfurt.

The faculty's structure is built around the social field of the research rather than individual scientific disciplines. Research work is focused on society's relationship with public goods such as health, environment, technology, education, science and politics.

Research, teaching and continuing education at the IFF pursue both social and scholarly aims. Interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity form the basis of both the theory and practice of the IFF. Researchers from various disciplines and professional fields work together on intervention-oriented projects within their social, historical and systems science contexts.

The IFF contributes to solving societal problems through research, teaching, consulting, intervention and extramural continuing education.
