27 April 2022, 16:45-18:45, Lecture Room HS-4C
NIG, 4th floor, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien

Interdisciplinary networking event of the  Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy – the “Faculty for Exploration”

The Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy invites researchers and interested faculty members to participate in our interdisciplinary networking event “Applied Sciences & Spring - Research at the Interface of Science & Society”.


•    Researching at the interface of science and society: What are the experiences of our researchers?
•    Research or development: How much research is there in applied science?
•    Which obstacles and pitfalls should be kept in mind? How to ensure independence? How to make contact?
•    Differences and similarities of funding schemes and partners? Funding opportunities.

Discuss these and other questions with our experienced “applied researchers” and other interested members of our Faculty as well as of the Service Unit Research Services and – if the weather allows – join us for a get-together with sparkling wine and a little spring snack at the NIG roof terrace afterwards.


Please note that registration is mandatory and the event follows the COVID-19 rules recommended by the University of Vienna (as of 19.04.2022: FFP2 masks mandatory in indoor areas; no 2G control necessary for catering; although booster vaccination and regular PCR tests are recommended – see event.univie.ac.at)

Registration closed - thank you for your interest!
