- What corona measures are currently in place at the university?
Although a large part of daily life has been switched to 2G, the university is still sticking to the 3G rule. (Antigen self-tests no longer apply!) 2G only applies to external events (this does NOT include classic courses!!).

In addition, from 15 November, FFP2 masks must be worn wherever mouth and nose protection was previously sufficient.

Please really stay at home if you feel sick and get tested! If you test positive, please also report it to corona@uibk.ac.at

- ÖH subsidy pot for psychotherapy and clinical-psychological treatments
We have expanded the subsidy pot for psychotherapy to include clinical-psychological treatments!

So if you are undergoing treatment or are currently undergoing therapy, be sure to submit an application and receive up to EUR 250 back from us.

We believe that the treatment and therapy of mental illnesses should not fail because of money!

That's why we want to provide you with direct financial support and are calling on politicians to finally treat mental illnesses as normal illnesses and make psychotherapy and clinical-psychological treatment a health insurance benefit!

During the workshop, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions about waste.

Törggelen is a traditional South Tyrolian dinner where one gets to enjoy the early goods of autumn, like baked chestnuts, good wine, or various local meat specialities.

2.) AIAS stem cell donor registration
Register with AIAS-Innsbruck on 11 November and become a lifesaver!

Every day in Austria alone, three people are diagnosed with blood cancer. A stem cell donation is often the last resort for those affected.

That's why on Thursday, 11 November 2021, there will be a big campaign on the GEIWI campus for students and interested parties aged 18 to 35 to register as a stem cell donor. After completing a questionnaire and taking four short cheek swabs, you will soon be added to the Austrian Red Cross donor register as a potential lifesaver.

We at AIAS Innsbruck look forward to seeing you!
