We would like to draw your attention to a call for projects within the Open Innovation in Science Impact Labs. The "Action for Sustainable Future (ASF) hub", a cooperation of the Ludwig Boltzmann Society with the University of Applied Arts Vienna, is looking for key projects within the framework of this call for proposals, which are oriented towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN and develop practical solutions with high social relevance and impact. In these projects, citizens* should be actively involved in the project design, combining both artistic and scientific strategies and findings. In order to allow citizens* with little project experience to participate in the call program, the submission process for projects will take place in two phases. Until June 30, 2021, ideas from different social fields can be submitted. Applicants will receive support for project submission and implementation from the ASF hub. Complete project proposals can be submitted until 30.09.2021.

The current scientific discourse around the term Anthropocene as a geological and cultural concept offers a conceptual framework for educational processes. The interdisciplinary approach combines natural science and cultural science methods and concepts and provides a subject-connecting approach for schools to deal with the interaction between humans and nature.

The "Österreichische Klimatag" is a scientific conference that aims to provide an overview of current Austrian research activities in the fields of climate change, impacts, adaptation as well as mitigation. Furthermore, the "Österreichischer Klimatag" has become the central showcase of research activities financed by the Climate and Energy Fund. Furthermore, the "Österreichische Klimatag" serves the networking of natural science, socio-economic as well as humanities and cultural science disciplines and promotes the exchange between basic research, applied research and users. A special focus is therefore placed on the cooperation and dialogue with stakeholders from politics and administration as well as the networking with practitioners, research promoters and business operators. Further information here.

In this online lecture, the Covid 19 pandemic is viewed from a different angle. Mathematician Prof. Christoph Mandl puts the daily presented figures about the Covid 19 pandemic to the test.
