Our Virtual Student Open Day is now over, but we are still here to help you learn more about graduate education at IST Austria.
Each year, the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) Austria opens its doors to give prospective PhD and internship candidates an insight into what it is like to study and do research at the institute. The 2020 Open Day event was held online.
