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.
Hybrid sessions aim to offer the same benefits in a virtual format, allowing you to 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
To help you in September to prepare as effectively as possible for your first exams, regular hybrid sessions will be held from 14 September onwards. You can meet in person and benefit from direct interaction with learning mentors and fellow students. Alternatively, you can take the opportunity to participate virtually and, for example, immerse yourself in a productive, structured and collaborative learning environment from home.- Mondays 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the main building and online.
- Tuesdays 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the main building and online.
- Thursdays 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the main building and online.
- Regularity and time structure: Fixed study times and planned breaks help you to develop and maintain a study rhythm.
- Shared breaks: Short, shared breaks with other students not only promote social interaction, but also relaxation and motivation.
- Learning support: Our experienced learning mentors are on hand to provide you with advice and support regarding learning planning and study organisation.
Target group
The project is especially aimed at students of the University of Vienna who have motivation, concentration and/or attention difficulties.
