Update info on COVID-19: FH JOANNEUM is moving to digital communication and online teaching
Joint statement by the FH JOANNEUM Management, the FH JOANNEUM Board, the FH JOANNEUM Staff Council and öh joanneum.
FH JOANNEUM fully supports all measures taken by the Federal Government in the current situation to contain and slow down the spread of COVID-19. We are taking all concerns, fears and requests seriously. Our top priority is to protect the health of our staff and students, while also doing everything in our power to protect particularly vulnerable groups of our society.
With these objectives in mind we call on our employees and students to reduce their social interactions to a minimum, and to do everything reasonably possible to support the measures taken.
We will remain in contact with our staff and students via online channels, supported by digital infrastructure and various teaching and organisational measures we have implemented and continue to implement with full commitment.
We are available for students, staff and interested parties from Monday – Thursday (9:00 – 17:00) and on Friday (9:00 – 14:00) at T +43 316 5453 8800, info@fh-joanneum.at | Facebook and Instagram.
