    develop medical tests, therapies and vaccines, that make prognoses about the further course of the pandemic, or that investigate its social consequences. The new call supports a total of six projects that are led by researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) or in which the OeAW is involved. Decoding the genome of the virus SARS-CoV-2 probably originated in China in November 2019 and has now spread almost worldwide. To analyze this development and the course of ...

    A new research method provides evidence on Later Stone Age brewing in Central Europe
    10.04.2020
    An international research team involving the Austrian Academy of Sciences has developed a method by which malt-based food can be detected in archaeological charred remains. Using this novel approach, they have also found evidence on the possibly oldest known beer production in Neolithic Central Europe.

    Coronavirus: Vienna life sciences institutes provide test capacity
    08.04.2020
    how important extensive testing is, as this will identify symptom-free carriers of the virus. To increase the nationwide test capacity, a total of 20 Viennese research institutes from the university and non-university sector, including the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), have banded together to form the "Vienna COVID-19 Diagnostics Initiative" (VCDI). They provide machines, scientifically qualified personnel and know-how for additional virus tests in the laboratory. ...

    First SARS-CoV-2 genomes in Austria openly available
    03.04.2020
    The first 21 SARS-CoV-2 genomes in Austria have now been completed and published within the scope of the “Mutational Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2” project recently launched by the Austrian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Medical University of Vienna. The project aims at sequencing 1,000 viral genomes obtained from Austrian patient-derived samples, in order to learn more about the molecular understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic and the causative pathogen. The project results will integrate Austrian viral genome data into a global map of SARS-CoV-2 mutations, which will help decipher the mutational dynamics underlying the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Where you live can influence the number of children you have
    02.04.2020
    Birth rates in cities are lower than in the countryside. But do people in cities really want fewer children, or is it that their desire to have children is less often fulfilled? Scientists from the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) investigated this question. For their study published in the journal "Regional Studies", Bernhard Riederer and Isabella Buber-Ennser used data from the international Generations & Gender Survey from 11 ...

    the archive is closed? And what archeological insights can be gained if distant excavation sites are inaccessible? Basic researchers are currently faced with several such critical questions. As virtual exchange with researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) shows, their answers are as creative as they are cooperative. "Research is open for business!" - Jochen Schieck is sure of that. Nonetheless, given the current circumstances, it is clear to the director of ...
