In the Main Building, the Faculty of Chemistry, the Observatory and the University of Vienna Biology Building (UBB), researchers will be demonstrating the fascinating interplay between science and knowledge with hands-on activities and demonstrations.
For the first time, the UBB is one of the hosts of the #LNF in collaboration with the Vienna BioCenter with exciting insights into the entire faculty and the CeMESS – with a total of 25 Stations at the campus. Experiments and guided tours invite everyone to experience research themselves. Visitors will also get insights into the daily life of biologists in the theatre performance "Micro*Scope".
The faculty is present with the following stations:
