Webinar: Research & Investment in Austria

08.05.2025 | 18:00 CEST (GMT +2:00) Vienna - 19:00 CEST (GMT +2:00) Vienna Online, Austria

The combination of science and business and the high degree of networking between manufacturing, supplying and service-providing companies as well as the central location in the heart of Europe make Austria a unique research location. There are numerous opportunities in Austria to pursue research activities. The Austrian Business Agency (ABA) will give you an insight into the legal situation in Austria for researchers, especially on the following topics:

•             Immigration Insights – work and residence titles

•             Relocation support for international researchers

•             Research Location Austria – facts & figures

•             Public R&D funding on national, regional & EU level

•             “Willkommen Daheim” Services for Austrians living Abroad

Join us for an insightful webinar highlighting Austria’s achievements and forward momentum in innovation. Austria’s rise to 6th place in the 2023 European Innovation Scoreboard underscores its position as the leading “Strong Innovator” in Europe. As one of the EU’s top performers in RTI indicators, R&D expenditure, ERC grants, and scientific publications, Austria continues to set a benchmark for excellence. Notably, the share of R&D employees in the total labor force surpassed 2% for the first time, marking a new milestone.

The ABA is Austria’s national business location consultancy and leader among the European agencies thanks to its three pillars, INVEST in AUSTRIA, WORK in AUSTRIA and FILM in AUSTRIA. As a subsidiary of the Federal Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism ABA provides all consultancy services free of charge.
