The project comprises the construction of a new campus to house a leading Austrian institute of basic research in the town of Klosterneuburg, located about 20 km North East of Vienna centre. It is foreseen to supplement the listed buildings of a former clinic with new facilities to create a state of the art national Institute of Science and Technology in Austria.
The project will host the Institute of Science and Technology and promote high level basic research in the EU. Moreover, the Institute will include a Graduate School, training Ph.D. students and hosting postdoctoral fellows. The emphasis will be on basic research in fields of science and technology such as the Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, and multi-disciplinary areas.
