Sustainability

Subject Area

Sustainability

Sustainability is much more than a trend – it is a central societal task and a highly sought-after future competence across almost all professional fields. The University offers professional education programmes that explore ecological, economic and social aspects of sustainability in an interdisciplinary and practice-oriented way.

 

As a cross-cutting theme, sustainability is integrated into many of our programmes – regardless of the specific field of study. This ensures a broad approach and diverse perspectives. Participants engage with sustainable practices in business, society, environment and education, developing solutions for current challenges.

 

Our offerings provide solid knowledge and foster critical thinking – for everyone who wants to actively shape change and take responsibility.

Together for Sustainable Solutions

We bring together the key players from the region’s business, academia and public sector to address current challenges around sustainability. The focus is on practical exchange – with the goal of developing concrete and actionable solutions for companies.

Sustainability starts already in the early phase of a construction project. The Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in BIM-Enabled Project Development demonstrates how model-based planning, digital tools and integrated processes contribute to greater efficiency, quality and resource conservation – an important step towards future-proof construction.

Additionally, we offer after-work workshops where current developments related to BIM and sustainable planning are discussed in a practical manner.

Conferences and Series

Advancing digitalisation and the call for sustainable construction processes place new demands on practice. With the BIM After Work Workshop series, professionals from planning, construction and operation gain targeted insight into the interdisciplinary application of the BIM method – compact, practice-oriented and well connected.

 

In focused evening events, experienced speakers explore current topics around Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its role in future-proof construction. The workshops combine technological developments with sustainability issues, highlight practice-relevant areas of application and encourage exchange between different disciplines.

 

Whether for introduction, deepening knowledge or discussion, the BIM After Work Workshops provide space for new perspectives and lively dialogue.

 

This professional education offering is held regularly. The next session and registration opportunities can be found here when available.

EEA – European Economic Area

Subject Area

EEA – European Economic Area

30 Years of EEA Membership for Liechtenstein

 

On 1 May 1995, Liechtenstein joined the European Economic Area (EEA). The EEA Agreement connects the three EEA/EFTA states—Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway—with the 27 member states of the European Union (EU) into a single economic area. This guarantees the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital between all member states. Horizontal and complementary policy areas such as environmental policy or statistics are also part of the EEA Agreement.

 

For Liechtenstein, the EEA Agreement is the most important agreement shaping its relations with the EU. EEA membership has also significantly shaped Liechtenstein as a state, increasing its international visibility and recognition. However, to implement its various obligations under the EEA, Liechtenstein had to establish new administrative processes.

 

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of EEA membership, the University of Liechtenstein has planned various activities.

Exhibition

The exhibition “30 Years of EEA Membership” offers many exciting background insights into the EEA, its impact on Liechtenstein, and Liechtenstein’s foreign policy in general. The exhibition will open on 1 July 2025 and is expected to be open until 31 August 2025 during the University of Liechtenstein’s regular opening hours.

 

Requests for guided tours with explanations of the individual topics can be directed to the Rectorate’s Office.

Media

Subject Area

Media

Media shape our everyday lives, our communication, and the way we absorb, share and present knowledge publicly. Anyone who wants to succeed in today’s working world needs media skills – from confidently using digital tools to communicating professionally in public, at work and in society. Our professional education offerings in the field of media help you prepare content in a targeted way, convey messages effectively and present yourself with confidence in different media contexts – whether in front of the camera, at the microphone or on social networks.

Intensive Courses

The two "Intensive Courses in Media Training" enable you to understand when and why certain topics are explosive, attract a wide audience and – for communication professionals – achieve the expected impact. Making a good impression in public is a goal we all pursue for our businesses, public authorities, institutions and, last but not least, for ourselves.

Intensive Course in Media Training I

Confident Public Appearance

Medientraining 2024

A convincing public appearance begins with the first impression. In this intensive course, participants receive practical training on how to communicate confidently, effectively and with clear purpose – whether in media work, the professional environment or in public settings. Module 1 provides the foundations for a professional appearance. Module 2 focuses on the strategic use of AI tools in communication.

Target Group
Executives, team leaders and specialists who wish to develop their communication and media skills in a targeted way.

 

Course Fees
The course fee is CHF 2,650.00. This includes electronic course materials and seminar refreshments.

Module 1: Fit for Public Engagement
The Video Training Reveals the First Impression

 

There is no second chance to make a first impression. The focus of this introductory module is on foundational knowledge and practice in communication. Communication psychology principles form the basis for all subsequent modules. Through an initial video recording with follow-up feedback, you will discover how your self-image differs from how others see you and learn how to optimise your external impact. The feedback method taught here, along with an understanding of key relevance criteria, are central elements in Modules 3, 4 and 5.

Bibliothek-Über uns

Your Support Is Our Mission

About Us

Bibliothek-Über uns

When the former University of Applied Sciences Liechtenstein moved into the old Spoerry textile factory in Vaduz, the library, alongside the cafeteria, took up its post in the glass annex in 2003.

A milestone in media provision was reached in 2024 with the library’s integration into the world’s largest library network, SLSP (Swiss Library Service Platform). This gives users access to around 40 million media items from 500 Swiss libraries.

Despite all transformations, the library remains a powerful provider of literature and knowledge for university members and external users from Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and the surrounding region of Austria, for study, research, and continuing education.
