What is the ISU study café?
The ISU Learning Café of the Individual Study Support (ISU) serves to support and network students at the University of Vienna. The central idea is to create a space for the most efficient, community-orientated learning possible.
Specifically, the presence of others is to be utilised in the sense of body doubling. The concept of body doubling has proven to be an effective method for increasing concentration and productivity while learning through the presence of others.
Our new online sessions aim to offer these benefits in a virtual format so that you can participate from anywhere and benefit from the collective learning atmosphere.
What can you expect in the ISU-Study-Café?
- Study Space – on site and online
- On site: Our traditional learning café remains a central meeting point for students who want to come together in a physical space. Here you will benefit from direct interaction with study guides and fellow students.
