“Research, teaching, learning—in the countryside, for the countryside.” That was the motto under which TU Wien founded the “landuni” in Drosendorf in Lower Austria: an anchor point where researchers work together with local residents to discuss livable and sustainable futures for rural regions. Vom Hörsaal zum Dorfplatz illustrates the subjects researched on-site, which include rebuild culture, spatial transformation processes, creative businesses, climate change, visions for the future, and mobility—and, in doing so, assesses the “landuni” (countryside university) itself as a means of regional development. In a world where research and teaching on rural life still frequently takes place in urban centers, this volume offers an impetus to think about life in the countryside on a local level.
