Forschung Austria is Austria's leading umbrella organization for non-university, application-oriented research — a network whose members include the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Joanneum Research, and Silicon Austria Labs, among others. Representing the collective voice of Austria's applied research community requires more than a website: it requires a structured platform that keeps policy content, member information and events accessible to every stakeholder audience, in both German and English. The existing site was no longer up to that task.
- Concept and design for a bilingual (DE/EN) TYPO3 website with clear information architecture
- Technical implementation with structured content types for news, policy briefs and events
- Bilingual content (German and English) with cleanly separated language versions
- Member directory with filtered navigation for targeted stakeholder communications
- Accessibility-first build — content and markup designed for all users
- SEO foundation to improve discoverability of research policy content across the DACH region
- Privacy-compliant analytics via self-hosted Matomo — no third-party tracking
The platform delivered with rockit turns the complexity of a research network into clear, editorially manageable structures. Policy briefs, upcoming events and member profiles are consistently available in both languages — giving Forschung Austria the digital presence its role in Austrian research policy deserves.
