Institute
IST Austria is an institute for basic research and graduate education.
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.
IST Austria is committed to conducting world-class research. By 2026, up to 90 research groups will perform research in an international state-of-the-art environment.
At IST Austria, diversity and inclusion are core values that we see as essential for creating and disseminating new knowledge and for taking science into new directions. IST Austria strives for a diverse community with an open, inclusive culture where scientists and staff of all expertises and backgrounds, regardless of age, gender/identity, ethnicity/race, social/cultural background, creed/religion, sexual orientation, and physical/cognitive abilities, can work and learn together.
It is our shared understanding and awareness that, especially in STEM fields, it is a long journey, which requires honest, steadfast commitment, to achieve a truly diverse and inclusive community. To this end, IST Austria will steadily continue to implement and evaluate measures to increase our diversity and to strengthen our inclusive campus culture.
