We are committed to educating the next generation of scientists. We take an active part in teaching at the IST Austria Graduate School and in hosting Graduate School rotation students. Lectures at the IST Austria Graduate School are open to students from Austrian Universities. In collaboration with Austrian Universities, we supervise students performing their Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis research. Moreover, we host scientific interns from various disciplines.
Information on courses for graduate students at IST Austria can be found here.
We also strive to contribute to the public perception of science by actively taking part in various outreach and educational activities, discussion rounds, and public lectures. With this, we also want to make a positive impact on science education in Austria.
