The Federal Ministry for Science and Transport ( BMWV for short ), until 1997 the Federal Ministry for Science, Transport and Art ( BMWVK ) was the Austrian federal administration for matters of scientific research and academic education , initially also the museums and monument protection , as well as transportation .
The ministry was created in 1996 in the Vranitzky V government from the Federal Ministry for Science, Research and Art (BMWFK) and the Federal Ministry for Public Economy and Transport (BMÖWV).
In 2000, when the Schüssel I government took office , it was restructured into the Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture (BMBWK) and the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT).
With this ministry, the traditionally close connection between the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Economy (or various nationalized ministries), which dates back to the imperial era, was finally ended.

At the time this ministry was in existence, federal ministers were:
- Rudolf Scholten ( SPÖ ): Has been responsible for science, research and the arts since 1994 ( Vranitzky III government ).

- Caspar Eine ( SPÖ ): Minister of the Climate Government from January 28, 1997 (previously Minister of the Interior ), from February 15 Federal Minister for Science and Transport
- Michael Schmid ( FPÖ ): After the start of the Schüssel I government, took over on February 4, 2000

Competencies and measures
In the course of the privatization measures of the 1990s, a separate ministry for public works became obsolete, the general ministry for all economic affairs took over the agendas of the public hand as a property developer, and the remaining transport policy was merged with science policy . The following year, Klima submitted the art agendas directly to the Federal Chancellery .
During the time of the ministry, in particular, the integration of the common transport policy, such as the continuation of the transit ecopoint system , as well as pilot projects for multi-phase driver training , which occurred after Austria joined the EU on January 1, 1995 and joined the Schengen Agreement on April 28, 1995 to the driver's license .
In terms of science policy, the implementation of the Bologna Process was the main agenda (Caspar Eine signed the Bologna Declaration of June 19, 1999 for Austria); the first measures were, for example, the 1999 amendment to the University Studies Act .
Historical development
Later exercise of responsibilities
Elisabeth Gehrer was Minister of Science of the Schüssel era as Federal Minister for Education, Science and Culture . In 2007 the Federal Ministry of Science and Research was re-established with the socialist government of Gusenbauer as a pure science and university ministry - in the form that Bruno Kreisky had conceived in early 1970 . Today the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research is responsible for these agendas.
The transport agendas came in 2000 to the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology , a modern infrastructure ministry that is now called the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology .
The Art Section came directly to the Federal Chancellery on Ballhausplatz in 1997 ( Federal Museums 1998, Amendment of the Monument Protection Act 2000) and was again at the Ministry of Education, the Federal Ministry for Education, Art and Culture , from 2007 . Today the Federal Ministry for Art, Culture, Public Service and Sport is responsible for art issues.
