On October 1, the first "Lange Nacht der Forschung" ("Night of Research") will take place in Innsbruck, Linz, and Vienna. Following the motto "into science!" more than 70 academic, non-academic, and commercial institutions will open their laboratory doors to the public. Starting from three "Treffpunkten Forschung" ("meeting places for research") located in the respective city centers, 13 shuttle bus routes – defined as “X.PEDITIONEN” – will lead to several sites of research. Each of these 150 sites gives insight into the various positions of contemporary research on the extensively discussed issue of security.

AustroMars is Austria’s largest and most unusual space exploration simulation project. A combination of vision, science, technology and fascination will set the stage for this nearly month-long mock Mars landing in the Utah desert. “Astronauts” will replicate in exact detail a manned Mars landing and will be supported not only by Austrian scientists and space experts and Mission Control Center, but also by many enthusiastic volunteers.
