SHAPING THE FUTURE THROUGH INNOVATION

Welcome to our community, where diverse individuals and organizations come together to create meaningful and positive change. Built on strong partnerships and a shared commitment to excellence, we foster an environment where collaboration, innovation, and progress flourish.

Diversity and Multidisciplinarity

Meet the Team

Our team at the Internet Institut Wien consists of experts who have demonstrated their competencies through successful projects. We believe that there are no generic formulas. Therefore, we have created our own by bringing together professionals from various fields of work, including engineers, political scientists, economists, lawyers, architects, and designers.

Furthermore, through our People and Culture Lab, we emphasize the importance of diverse perspectives and collaboration. We all have several interests outside of our core businesses, and a holistic approach to projects can only be achieved by recognizing the many different aspects of a challenge. This approach allows us to deliver innovative solutions that add value and are the result of passionate teamwork.

Select for Success

Strategic Positive Selection Principle

At our organization, the success of our activities and projects relies on collaborating with the most knowledgeable, experienced, and innovative people. We choose to work exclusively with those who share our values of having a clear vision, integrity, openness, respect, quality, and social responsibility.

We call this approach the Strategic Positive Selection Principle, and it’s at the core of our mission to transform Europe into a society of knowledge and information. By partnering with the most prominent sponsors, partners, associates, and team members who embody these values, we aim to create positive change and contribute to our region’s creative, spiritual, and economic growth.

At the Internet Institut Wien, we’re committed to promoting regional and global integration processes through collaboration and networking with the best experts within and outside our organization. By working together, we can achieve our goals and create a better future for everyone.

Networks of Knowledge

Collaboration and Partnership

Internet Institut Wien has been actively building diverse communities of nonprofits, professionals, researchers, and digital practitioners for over 20 years. These communities are united by a shared commitment to exploring the complex relationship between technology and society or sharing knowledge. IIW has played many roles in all of our endeavors, intending to build a more inclusive society. We proudly showcase some of the outcomes of our engagement with these communities, demonstrating our work’s impact and relevance.

Our Community

For 15 years, we have partnered with the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) OpenCourseWare (OCW) initiative. As a result of such a partnership, we have offered access to a vast array of free online courses, lectures, and educational materials to millions of students, teachers, and the general public. By sharing the finest knowledge from around the globe, we have empowered individuals to expand their understanding and enhance their professional and personal lives. Our commitment to providing open and accessible education has enabled individuals who may not have had the opportunity otherwise to learn from some of the brightest minds in the world. We are honored to have been a part of this transformative initiative and will continue striving to make quality education available to all.

Our Community

The Association of Young Gifted Mathematicians “Marin Getaldic” was founded by a community of exceptionally talented mathematicians, including former top competitors from renowned schools and students of mathematics and informatics universities, such as FER and PMF. At the start of 2008, these groups’ leaders recognized the significance of working together and combining their expertise to provide more organized and practical support for gifted students. Consequently, they established an association with the primary objective of implementing a novel approach to nurturing young mathematical talent characterized by innovative ideas, youthfulness, and camaraderie.
