The Styrian Higher Education Conference is an integral part of the so called "Science Space Styria" of the Styrian higher education area.
"Nine universities in Styria join forces and strengthen a common higher education area based on excellent regional collaboration. Together they offer a broad range of study programmes with cross-university further and advanced education courses, creating international, future-oriented research core areas. The creation of a common higher education area is meant to enhance the visibility of scholarship in general and Styria as a place of higher learning in particular."
