The Medical University of Vienna (German: Medizinische Universität Wien) is a public university located in Vienna, Austria. It is the direct successor to the faculty of medicine at the University of Vienna, founded in 1365 by Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria. As one of the oldest medical schools in the world, it is the oldest in the German-speaking countries, and was the second medical faculty in the Holy Roman Empire, after the Charles University of Prague. The Medical University of Vienna is the largest medical organisation in Austria, as well as one of the top-level research institutions in Europe and provides Europe's largest hospital, the Vienna General Hospital, with all of its medical staff. It consists of 31 university clinics and clinical institutes, and 12 medical-theoretical departments, which perform around 48,000 operations each year. The Vienna General Hospital has about 100,000 patients treated as inpatients and 605,000 treated as outpatients each year.There have been seven Nobel prize laureates affiliated with the medical faculty, and fifteen in total with the University of Vienna. These include Robert Bárány, Julius Wagner-Jauregg and Karl Landsteiner, the discoverer of the ABO blood type system and the Rhesus factor. Sigmund Freud qualified as a doctor at the medical faculty and worked as a doctor and lecturer at the General Hospital, carrying out research into cerebral palsy, aphasia and microscopic neuroanatomy.In the 2014–15 Times Higher Education Rankings, the Medical University of Vienna is listed among the top 15 medical schools in Europe and 49th in the world for category of Clinical, Pre-Clinical and Health.In 2019, there were 8,217 applicants for 660 places in medicine proper and 80 in dentistry, which corresponds to an admission rate of about 9,01% Admission is based upon ranking in an admission test called "MedAT", which is carried out every summer in conjunction with the three other public medical schools of Austria: the Medical University of Graz, the Medical University of Innsbruck and the Medical Faculty at the Johannes Kepler University Linz.

Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics

The Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) is a visitors oriented research institute in Vienna, Austria. It is located close to the city center in the remodeled historical premises of a seminary in Boltzmanngasse 9 in Vienna's ninth district. The Institute was founded upon the initiatives of Peter W. Michor and Walter Thirring and opened on 20 April 1993. It was run by the private ESI association under the auspices of the Austrian Ministry of Science until 31 December 2010. Since 1 June 2011 the ESI has been embedded into the University of Vienna. It has close connections with the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna.The ESI hosts high-profile thematic programs, workshops, summer and winter schools, junior and senior research fellowships, as well as a program for research in teams. The ESI publishes Scientific Reports with detailed records of activities, guests, and related preprints. In 2019, the year before the COVID-19 pandemic, the ESI recorded an all-time high of 1116 participants and 171 preprints related to its activities. The ESI is managed by the ESI Director, who is supported by two Deputy Directors and reports directly to the Rectorate of the University of Vienna. The Director and the Deputy Directors are part of the ESI Kollegium, which is composed of three professors from the Faculty of Mathematics and three from the Faculty of Physics. The Kollegium oversees the operation of the Institute and decides over proposals for potential future workshops, schools, fellowships, and research in teams at the ESI based on a peer review process and available resources. Decisions on future thematic programs at the ESI are made by a Scientific Advisory Board that is composed of six to eight international peers.The current ESI Director is Christoph Dellago; the Scientific Advisory Board is chaired by Sandra Di Rocco.As of 2020, the Institute awards the annual Medal of the Erwin Schrödinger Institute for Mathematics and Physics (or ESI Medal, for short) to celebrate recent breakthroughs in any area of mathematics or physics. The selection is made by the Scientific Advisory Board based on nominations from previous recipients of the ESI Medal, organizers of thematic programs at the ESI, former ESI Directors, former members of the ESI Scientific Advisory Board, and the president of the ESI Association. The recipients of the ESI Medal to date are Anton Alekseev (2020) Elliott Lieb (2021) Martin Hairer (2022) Isabelle Gallagher (2023)

Alsergrund
Alsergrund

Alsergrund (German pronunciation: [ˈalzɐˌɡrʊnt] (listen); Central Bavarian: Oisagrund) is the ninth district of Vienna, Austria (German: 9. Bezirk, Alsergrund). It is located just north of the first, central district, Innere Stadt. Alsergrund was incorporated in 1862, with seven suburbs. As a central district, the area is densely populated. According to the census of 2001, there were 37,816 inhabitants over 2.99 square km (1.15 sq. mi). Many departments of the University of Vienna (main university), TU Wien and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) are located in Alsergrund. Until 2013 the University of Economics and Business (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) was also located in the 9th district, but eventually moved to the 2nd district. There are also many large hospitals, including the biggest in Vienna, the AKH (Allgemeines Krankenhaus, German for General Hospital). Alsergrund is associated with many notable names of Viennese art and science. It is the birthplace of Romantic composer Franz Schubert. Classic music composer Ludwig van Beethoven died here in his apartment at Schwarzspanierstraße 15. Berggasse 19 is the former residence and office of Sigmund Freud. It was Freud's home from 1891 until his flight to England in 1938, and is currently the site of the Vienna Sigmund Freud Museum. Most of the patients Freud treated during the development of his theories of psychoanalysis visited him at his Alsergrund office. In addition, the park in front of the Votivkirche, on the corner of Währingerstrasse and Schottenring, was named after Freud, in memory of his frequent visits there.
