Leoben

The Montanuniversität Leoben is known as a technical university with a unique orientation and fascinating history.

The Montanuniversität Leoben traces its origins back to the k.u.k. Montanlehranstalt, which was founded in 1840 by Archduke Johann in Vordernberg and relocated to Leoben in 1849. Under its first director, Professor Peter Tunner, the Montanlehranstalt was elevated to the status of a Mining Academy in 1861 and was equated with Technical Universities in 1904 as a Montanistic University. Since its founding, the university has continuously developed and deepened its competencies to actively contribute to current, socially relevant issues.

Today, the Montanuniversität Leoben stands for excellent science, outstanding education, and top-notch performance in research and teaching. The university is divided into three future-oriented areas of competence: Sustainable Processes, Smart Materials, and Advanced Resources. In this context, the scientists at Montanuni Leoben work daily to develop technical and scientific methods to develop solutions to today's challenges in the areas of resources, climate, energy, and the environment.

A significant milestone for the Montanuniversität Leoben was the sensational result in the Shanghai Ranking 2023. In the category of 'Metallurgy', it achieved fifth place in Europe and 21st place worldwide. An obvious proof of the outstanding quality of research and teaching.
