Giant pea goes ball of sciences!

26.01.2023

After accompanying the project on its various stopovers, the giant pea will also be exhibited at this year’s Ball of Sciences in front of Vienna’s townhall.

The giant pea is the beloved poster child of the INTERREG AT-CZ GJM200 project, which was developed around Mendel’s 200th birthday. The project sought to highlight the legacy of Mendel’s work in various scientific disciplines and to further the cooperation between the two countries (Austria and the Czech Republic).
