Universities Austria (German: Österreichische Universitätenkonferenz, uniko) is an advocacy organisation that supports research universities in Austria and promotes science, art, and research.
The president since October 2024 is Brigitte Hütter, rector of the University of Art and Design Linz, following Oliver Vitouch in this capacity.
From the start of the University Organization Act 1975 until the end of December 2003, when the Universitäts-Organisationsgesetz 1993 [de] (1993 University Organization Act) was superseded by the Universitätsgesetz 2002 [de] (Austrian Universities Act 2002), the Rectors' Conference was a federal institution with partial legal capacity (Teilrechtsfähigkeit [de]).
The association signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities in November 2004.
