According to its Organisation Plan, the University of Vienna has a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) that analyses and observes "the University of Vienna within the context of the international academic landscape" and advises the University on its long-term strategy. According to the Organisation Plan, the Senate and the University Board each select three persons out of the Rectorate's proposal, which has to consist of at least 14 persons. The Rectorate selects three further persons out of the remaining persons.

Members of the new Scientific Advisory Board consist of nine independent and internationally renowned researchers from Europe and America whose expertise covers the entire range of subjects available at the University of Vienna. The term of office of the SAB members expires simultaneously with the term of the Rectorate on 30 September 2026.
