Global Shift - Setting off into a new world

Join us in the exhibition "Global Shift"! Here we deal with the many facets of global changes and upheavals. What does the new geography of the digital age look like? How do populations and their structures develop? What will our world look like in the future?

Science Talk: Digital identity of the future - opportunities and challenges

In this lecture, Dr. Rene Mayrhofer from the Institute of Networks and Security at JKU Linz will present the possibilities, chances and risks of digital identity cards on smartphones, discuss current developments and consider the next steps.

Deep Space: The Roman city of Carnuntum

The rebuilt ancient houses, the amphitheatres and the Carnuntinum Museum as Carnuntum's treasure house can now not only be visited on site - a virtual visit to the Roman quarter is also possible! And this is exactly where we take you in this Deep-Space-presentation!

Tutorial: Programmable Materials – Paper

Everyone has seen how paper sucks up water. The reason for this is its hygroscopic property. Paper has the ability to absorb and bind moisture from its surroundings. This changes the dimension of the paper sheet: when paper gets wet, it expands and when it dries, it contracts again.

Science Talk: On understanding and trust - How teamwork between man and machine works

Robot psychologist Martina Mara tells what the trend area of collaborative robotics can learn from psychological theories of trust-building and she gives insights into a current research project in which the trustworthiness of robot colleagues is being investigated using virtual reality.

Science Talk: In the Glass House of the Soul

In this Science Talk, Prof. Dr. Andreas Gruber, Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Kepler University Hospital, will talk about the latest methods in brain surgery, from microsurgery to neuronavigation and digitalised surgery simulations.

Deep Space Family: Journey through Universe IV

"My Violent Evil Monster Just Scared Us Nuts". You know that mnemonic? It's an easy way to remember the eight planets of our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Tour: Brainpower & ... IV

In this guided tour, we look at how complex the linked brain cells of humans are and how this is in contrast to other living beings, such as the nematode C. Elegance.

Deep Space LIVE: Zodiac Signs in the Light of Science – Cancer

In the second part of the series "Signs of the Zodiac in the Light of Science" with astrophotographer Dietmar Hager we take a look at the cancer.

Tour: Brainpower & ... II

From the structure of the Gyri and Sulci, which we now already know from the "Tour: Brainpower & ... I", we zoom into the deeper layers: What do neurons look like? How does the information transfer in the brain take place? And how does our nervous system work?

Family Tour

Every child knows what light is! But could you explain it if asked? And what is light for? We will answer these questions and show you by the example of "nonvisual-art" how artists use light as a medium in their works.
