Code of Conduct of the UAS BFI Vienna
Our Code of Conduct – Our Compass.
The UAS BFI Vienna is a place where people get in touch with each other on a daily basis - in a teaching context, in joint research projects, in administration and in exchange with external stakeholders. These encounters can take place on campus or in virtual space, in synchronous or asynchronous settings, in person or in writing, and with the help of a variety of tools. Whether these encounters are experienced as successful, constructive and empowering depends to a large extent on how the people involved - i.e. all of us - behave during them. In this sense, this Code of Conduct should be understood as a basis for the joint co-operation of all people who are associated with the UAS BFI Vienna as employees, part-time lecturers, students or researchers.
The video gives a first insight into the most important contents of our Code of Conduct.
The basis for the Code of Conduct is provided by the following set of values of the UAS BFI Vienna, which is based on the strategic management documents and should serve as an orientation for a trusting cooperation for everyone at the UAS. The expectations towards specific groups listed below are derived from these values.
Social responsibility
- The UAS sees itself as an open-minded, active part of society with the aim of offering tertiary education for responsible specialists and managers.
- We have an international orientation which is based on aspects of sustainable management and are committed to the UN's sustainability goals.
- We support social commitment and promote the removal of artificial barriers in education, democratic access to education for all and lifelong learning opportunities.
Orientation towards competence and performance
- Target agreements are made jointly and implemented consistently. The requirements and expectations of each other are clearly communicated and the extent of support and room for manoeuvre is adapted to the needs of the employees during implementation.
- We take responsibility for our own area and the entire UAS and consider the consequences for others when making decisions.
- We act courageously and innovatively and promote an open and constructive feedback culture as well as a culture of error that allows us to learn from mistakes.
Appreciative organisational culture and positive attitude
- We trust that everyone wants to make a positive contribution and pursue a common goal.
- Our interactions are characterised by respect and appreciation for each other: (time) resources, work situation, priorities, etc.
- We support each other in challenging situations.
Based on these values, we can expect the following from each other in our daily interactions:
