The Institute Colloquium is the principal research seminar at IST Austria.
Scientists from around the world and from across all disciplines of the natural sciences are invited to present their latest findings. The Institute Colloquium has an interdisciplinary flavor and is meant to be of general interest to the research community of IST Austria as well as that of Vienna and surroundings.
The Institute Colloquium takes place Mondays at 4:45pm in the main Lecture Hall of IST Austria.
Free IST shuttle transfers from Heiligenstadt to IST can be obtained by printing out the weekly add for the Colloquium and presenting it to the driver.
