Robotics, developing apps and experimenting in the lab – at the Vienna Research Festival children and adolescents have the opportunity to immerse into the exciting world of research and to test new technologies live.
The Vienna Business Agency is committed to a wide range of activities related to technology awareness. The aim is to inform the broad public of Vienna, together with Viennese companies, universities and research facilities, about new technologies and research activities and to inspire children about science and research. In an immediate illustrative way approachable research, which is fun, is presented.
Since 2008, the Vienna Business Agency has organized the Vienna Research Festival in two different formats: one year it is in the form of a large convention, in the other years an exibition on tour is organised.
Vienna Research Festival 2020
From 20 to 22 March 2020, the Vienna Research Festival will move into the City Hall! In the heart of the City of Vienna, the Vienna Business Agency, together with companies, universities of applied sciences and the city administration, will present research and innovations, that can be experienced first hand. Beside the participatory exhibition there will be a framework programme. For Viennese school classes there will also be an accompanying school programme on nine additional days. Furthermore, there will be a programme for all interested children and young people during the Easter holidays.

Explore our food of the future, invent smart apps and track down hidden microplastics in our everyday lives. At the Vienna Research Festival on Tour school classes will again have the opportunity this year to immerse themselves in the exciting world of research and try new Viennese technologies.
