Reservation
The booking of event rooms is handled by the OeAI event team.
The OeAI has event rooms available in the following buildings on the Academy campus:
- Otto Wagner Postsparkasse | Georg-Coch-Platz 2, 1010 Vienna
- Hauptgebäude | Doktor-Ignaz-Seipel-Platz 2, 1010 Vienna
- Burse | Sonnenfelsgasse 19, 1010 Vienna
- Collegium | Bäckerstraße 13, 1010 Vienna
Costs
- The use of the rooms in the PSK is free of charge, with the exception of the large cashier hall.
- There are costs for the premises in the other buildings on the Academy Campus because the Austrian Academy of Sciences charges its institutes for the actual personnel costs, e.g. for technical staff, cloakroom attendants, porters, etc. There is no rent as long as the OeAI is the sole organiser. For events in cooperation with external partners (e.g. universities), the rooms can be booked at reduced rental rates.
Requests for quotes from OeAW event are made after a briefing with the responsible scientist by the OeAI event team.
These rooms are in high demand. Therefore, please be sure to enquire about and fix event dates as early as possible!
