Studia Studentenförderungs Gesellschaft m.b.H.

Studia Studentenförderungs Gesellschaft m.b.H. — commonly known simply as Studia — is the commercial enterprise (Wirtschaftsbetrieb) of the Austrian Students' Union (Österreichische Hochschülerschaft, ÖH) in Innsbruck, Austria. Its stated mission is to support students and pupils throughout their studies by supplying all necessary documents, books, scripts and study aids. It describes itself as the only company in Tyrol that combines a copy shop (Kopieranstalt), a bookbindery (Buchbinderei), a book publisher (Buchverlag), a bookshop (Buchhandel) and an office service (Büroservice) under one roof. The company is based in Innsbruck and operates primarily on and around the university campus. Its main copy shop is located at the University of Innsbruck, and it also maintains numerous self-service copiers across Innsbruck that can be operated with a Copy-Card. Its academic bookshop (Fachbuchhandlung) is located above the University Library. Studia serves students and staff of the Tyrolean universities and universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulen), as well as pupils. Studia's product and service range spans simple photocopies, digital printing and large-format printing, through to hand-bound books. It offers an online configurator that lets customers assemble the materials they need, and it runs a webshop combining bookselling and copy shop services. At the time of the source material, online book ordering through the shop was not possible for legal and technical reasons, with orders accepted by e-mail instead. As the commercial arm of the ÖH Innsbruck, Studia also promotes and supports student activities and student projects. It states that it has pursued this goal continuously since 1976 and has steadily expanded its resources. The company employs more than 17 staff members and describes itself as an important Tyrolean employer. Its services are offered under the trades of bookselling, copy shop, book publishing, bookbinding and office service — a combination it presents as unique in this form.

Studia Studentenförderungs Gesellschaft m.b.H. is the commercial enterprise (Wirtschaftsbetrieb) of the Austrian Students' Union (Österreichische Hochschülerschaft, ÖH) in Innsbruck. According to the company's own account, it has pursued its mission of supporting students since 1976, continuously expanding its resources over the decades. Its purpose is to supply students — and, more broadly, pupils — with all the documents, books, scripts and study aids they need during their studies and beyond. Over time Studia developed a distinctive combination of trades that it presents as unique in Tyrol: a copy shop (Kopieranstalt), a bookbindery (Buchbinderei), a book publisher (Buchverlag), a bookshop (Buchhandel) and an office service (Büroservice). This breadth allows it to serve the academic community of Innsbruck from simple photocopying through to the production of hand-bound books. Studia's physical presence is centred on the University of Innsbruck, where its main copy shop and its experts in copying are located, and where numerous self-service copiers are available across Innsbruck for use with a Copy-Card. Its academic bookshop (Fachbuchhandlung) is situated above the University Library. The company serves students and staff of the Tyrolean universities and universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulen), as well as pupils. As the commercial arm of the ÖH Innsbruck, Studia also promotes and supports student activities and student projects. It employs more than 17 staff members and describes itself as an important Tyrolean employer. In more recent years Studia expanded its digital offering. It launched a web presence that combines a webshop for bookselling with copy shop services, and introduced an online configurator allowing customers to assemble the materials they need conveniently from home. At the time covered by the source material, ordering books through the online shop was not possible for legal and technical reasons, and the company was working on a solution for online bookselling while accepting book orders by e-mail.
