Science (events) in Vienna

3/10/2019

3 Comments

 
One of the most important reasons for me to move to Vienna six years ago was my association of the city with the idea of a vibrant scientific community. Coming here with this goal made it easy for me to find exactly this. The supply of diverse, high-quality and often completely free of charge scientific events and other possibilities in Vienna is (close to) never-ending. This subjective experience of mine seems to be the case, as I invested quite some time looking at various research and education institutions and what they offer. I repeatedly experienced, that even people born in Vienna, have never heard or been to (for example) one of the lectures at IST Austria or don't know what IIASA is about. Therefore I will curate a list here of various options and how you can keep up-to-date with current science and science events (like signing up for newsletters) in the beautiful city of Vienna in Austria.

UNIVERSITIES and their events

I recommend going through the events in the beginning of the new semesters and writing into your calendar what is interesting or relevant to you.
  • University of Vienna / Universität Wien: Events at the University of Vienna 
​​(Just while opening the page to copy the link for this article I found an exciting talk about the molecular basis of life by Jean-Marie Lehn tomorrow evening! Also on March 26th there is the Opening Symposium of the new Cognitive Science Hub 
  • Technical University Vienna / TU Wien: Events at the TU Vienna
    • ​​TUforMaths Events
  • Universität für Bodenkultur
  • Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien
  • Medizinische Universität Wien​​​

Research Institutions (and their events)

  • IST Austria: Events at IST Austria The Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) is a young international institute dedicated to basic research and graduate education in the natural and mathematical sciences, located in Klosterneuburg on the outskirts of Vienna.​ My best experience there was seeing Scott Aaronson talk about computational complexity and fundamental physics in 2015 (here is his blog)
  • IIASA International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis: Events at IIASA The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis is a scientific research institute located in Laxenburg, near Vienna, Austria.Founded in 1972, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) conducts policy-oriented research into problems of a global nature that are too large or too complex to be solved by a single country or academic discipline.​​​
  • OFAI - Austrian Institute for Artificial Intelligence: Events

Meta, Science Education and Science Communication

  • Austrian Academy of Sciences: Events at the ÖAW
  • Lange Nacht der Forschung
  • VHS Wien offers a "science card" to get a very generous price to various science presentations at their locations, these are more on the introduction level, but nevertheless often very fun and enlightening
​

Science RElated Meetups

  • Regularly updated supply on meetup.com
Will be updated. Glad to hear what I have missed. More to be added.

Science is, without a doubt, my best subject. I do not really go well with other subjects, but I am the best when it comes to science. I do not know why, but I am just really interested in all sorts of science related activities. I do all sorts of experiments at school, some of them have been credited by our school. I feel like I am in my element when I am in the lab, I really love science.

Great page, thank you. The Konrad Lorenz Institute might also fit to this nice collection:
