Lower Austria Research Festival 2023

Numerous research institutions based in Lower Austria will explain science and their own research projects in an understandable and entertaining way to a variety of participants. Children, teenagers as well as adults will be able to get in touch directly with scientists, ask interesting questions, participate in experiments and conduct scientific tests themselves.

IIASA researchers will present their work to curious participants of all ages and backgrounds as part of the Climate-Risk-Service-Project (CRiSDA), funded by the Austrian Climate Research Program (ACRP). Participants will discover how we could adapt to climate change and the associated drought, which can lead to drought in agriculture in Austria. A map will be used to see how very different Austrian regions will be affected by drought and how, for example, agriculture could be protected from damage. IIASA scholars will engage with the participants to elaborate answers to exciting questions such as "What climate information do we need to make the right decisions for the future?” and "Who actually needs all the information?".
