The 2022 School

In 2022, we plan to bring the school back to an on-site format at Technical University (TU) Wien in Vienna, Austria, to fully embrace the community experience through on-site plenary talks, online lectures with live Q&A sessions, and interactive attendee poster sessions, complemented by social events. 

School dates: The school starts on Monday, July 4th, after lunch and ends on Thursday, July 7th, afternoons. 

School location: The school takes place in Vienna, Austria's capital city with approximately 1.9 million inhabitants, famous for its rich culture, imperial sights, palaces, museums, theaters and opera houses, as well as, its cozy wine taverns and coffee houses.

School venue: The school is hosted by Technical University (TU) Wien, Austria's largest technical university teaching approximately thirty thousand students. The school will take place in Campus C - Gusshaus of TU Wien.

Currently, no Covid restrictions apply in Austria and therefore the school will take place on-site.
