Lehmann: „“For ten years, we have been celebrating enlightenment, rationality, curiosity and evidence as the foundations of a society that looks to the future with the Science Ball.”
With around 4,000 guests, the ball has established itself as Vienna’s youngest traditional ball. We want to continue this tradition with our anniversary ball on January 25, 2025. The Science Ball represents the diversity, size and excellence of the universities, technical colleges, private universities and research institutions in the greater Vienna area.”
The program in the ballrooms of the town hall is a stimulating mix of amazing scientific presentations from the “Sounds of Entanglement” of quantum physics to ball gowns made from recycled laboratory waste to insect-eating Venus flytraps as flower decorations. And in the usual excellent quality, music from waltz and jazz to soul and tango, including the opening committee and midnight quadrille.
Once again, the rectors, presidents and heads of all Viennese universities, private universities, technical colleges as well as the ÖAW, IIASA and ISTA form the honorary committee and thus underline the relevance of Vienna as the most important university and research location in Central Europe. Highlights of the program will be announced over the coming weeks, as will the ball ambassadors from science, business, culture and society.
A special program item is the Vienna Lecture on Science Communication on the day before the ball: On Friday, January 24th, at 4 p.m., the renowned German media and political scientist Maja Göpel will speak in the ÖAW ballroom about the need for good science communication in challenging times. Participation is free, registration is required: www.wissenschaftsball.at/vienna-lecture-25/
