ÖH Innsbruck

As ESN section of Innsbruck we are also an integrated part of the Austrian Students Union of the University of Innsbruck and fulfill their duties of supporting foreign exchange students at our institution. The department where you find our office is the "Referat für Internationales".

The benefits of this cooperation are manifold. The ÖH gets the support of the Erasmus Student Network and can be sure to offer the best possible support for exchange students in Innsbruck. Also exchange students don't have to worry to have no professional support after the ÖH body changes, because the ESN-Team is traditionally independent from the ÖH-elections and can - together with the new ÖH-members - reform the team itself if necessary and not compellingly every 2 years. ESN Innsbruck on the other hand has a legal personality through being part of the ÖH which makes it much easier to organize events or to make trips and we have permanent office facilities with financial support through the union that ensures continuity even if members change. Not to forget the priceless help through the secretary, which gives students the chance to pay for their trips outside our office-hours.

Of course the ÖH is much more than an important supporter of incoming students.  Every two years elections are held at all Austrian universities to form the student government, which represents the needs of all Austrian university students and is the public voice of the student body.

The representatives of the ÖH Innsbruck for the current period are:

• Florian Ritter, chair-man, Aktionsgemeinschaft
• Iris Streibl, first representative, AG
• Florian Kahn, second representative, AG

Many eager and motivated students also work on each faculty, write the monthly ÖH-magazine, give advice to prospective students who come from school or help with information about scholarships, social affairs or the chance to go on exchange from Innsbruck. 

A new project that also can be part of as a new student of the University of Innsbruck is the UNIT-Program of the ÖH, where professional trainers give you interesting lessons in hard- and soft-skills for free!

A little advice for you if you want to use the Mensa for lunch or dinner some time - get the ÖH-Mensa-Card in the secretary on the groundfloor - so you can save money on each Mensa-meal!

The ÖH is your legal representative and supporter! Use our offers - we are there for YOU :-)
