What Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module @ UniWien does

The Department of Business Decisions and Analytics (BDA) at the University of Vienna is an academic research and teaching unit within the Faculty of Business, Economics and Statistics. Founded as part of the university's long-standing academic infrastructure (the University of Vienna traces its origins to 1365), and operating with the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module designation since 2020, the department focuses on high-quality research in quantitative economics, decision support, operations research, and data-driven business analytics. Its core methodology combines optimization-oriented models, mathematical programming, and data analytics to develop solutions for complex business and economic problems.

The department's "product" is twofold: graduate-level teaching (including master thesis supervision and final oral examinations) and peer-reviewed research output. It has produced over 266 documented publications and maintains an active editorial presence in operations research journals. Faculty comprises four active professors (Ehmke, Rauner, Tilk, Windsperger) and two emeriti (Hartl, Vetschera), augmented by researchers and doctoral students. It maintains core partnerships with ÖGOR (Austrian Society for Operations Research), LRA (Logistics Research Austria), and the EMNet international conference network, and hosts the annual EMNet conference — with the 2026 edition scheduled for Samarkand.

The entity has no commercial revenue model. As a public academic institution under Austrian law, it is funded through government subsidies, EU research grants (including the Jean Monnet programme), and tuition. No commercial pricing, customer logos, or revenue figures are disclosed. Its address is Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna, Austria, within the University of Vienna campus.
