The dramatic development of mechanical engineering and transportation at the beginning of the 19 th century meant that Alpine mining and metallurgy needed to step up a gear. This was only going to be possible with academically trained experts and so the curators of the Joanneum, a technical university founded by Archduke Johann in 1811, submitted a proposal for the foundation of a university for metallurgy on 16 November 1814. This was suggested by Archduke Johann himself, the founder and protector of the Joanneum, but initially failed due to the lack of suitable teaching personnel; however, the plan was not allowed to fade away as it was urgently needed.
Internationality has now become an indispensable part of education, science and business. The reason for this is that innovation and development are stagnating in isolation, but they are growing and prospering through cross-country cooperation and mutual exchange.
Due to its unique orientation, the Montanuniversität occupies a special position in the educational landscape of Austria.
The offered study courses are based on the value chain . This starts with the extraction and extraction of raw materials (eg ores, gold, petroleum). The interdisciplinary study of industrial energy engineering deals with the question of how energy can be provided and used efficiently for industrial processes.
