The Department of Social Work and the International Office Linz invite teaching colleagues to take an active part in this program by giving a lecture or leading a workshop (eligible for Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility funding). Students are invited to join us and receive up to 3 ECTS for their participation.
In addition to lectures and workshops, our program will include site visits to social organizations active in a variety of different areas, such as immigration, social work with offenders or drugs and addiction.
The IDSW will be held as an Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP). That means, that your home university might be able to grant you Erasmus+ funding for "short term mobility". If you want to use this opportunity, please contact your International Office and ask them about further details.
The week before (8 - 12 June), we will run an extended program for students and lecturers from overseas-partners. Further details upon request.

Fee for participants coming from partner universities: 75 Euro/student and 95 Euro/lecturer (16 - 19 June 2026)

Cultural Trip (optional)
On Monday, 15 June 2026, we will show you the beauty of Austria and take the chance to get to know each other before the official start of the international days. Join us for a cultural trip to Hallstatt and the Dachstein Mountain. A cable car will take us to the mountain (1350 m above the sea-level) for a guided tour through the Dachstein Giant Ice Cave . After another ride by cable to the top of the mountain (2100 m asl), you'll be able to experience the beauty of the Alps and the Viewing-Platform Five-fingers.
Back from the mountain, you will have the chance to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Village Hallstatt and the beautiful Hallstatt-lake. Hallstatt is a touristic spot which you should not miss when visiting Austria.
Accommodation
Linz offers a variety of hotels at different price levels. The closest very low priced hotel is the Montagehotel Business & City which is situated just around the corner (approx. 5 min. walk) of the FH Upper Austria. For lecturers, we have also pre-reserved a certain amount of rooms at the Amedia Hotel Linz (2 min. walking distance) – please let us know if you intend to stay there and we will inform you about the special rate and the reservation mode. Upon request, we will gladly suggest other hotels.
Please book your stay individually.
