Mission Statement

The documentations and illustrations were developed to allow the BOKU staff members a quick orientation in processes and procedures and facilitate everyday working practices. Participation in the QMS is intended and should further build and strengthen a continuous quality culture in all performance areas (the core areas are academic study and teaching, research as well as in cross-sectional tasks).
