With its own "Doctoral School of Theology and Research on Religion" (VDTR), the University of Vienna will further profile academic training in these subjects. The aim is to improve the promotion and networking of young academics. The VDTR is one of 15 "doctoral schools" at the University of Vienna. The Faculty of Catholic Theology, the Faculty of Protestant Theology and the Research Center "Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society" (RaT) are involved.
