Exciting research in Carinthia, Austria: Long Night of Research in Klagenfurt, April 24, 2026
The Long Night of Research held on April 24, 2026, in Klagenfurt was a great success: around 9,000 visitors flocked to the shared campus of the University of Klagenfurt and Lakeside Park to experience science up close. With 106 stations, around 500 researchers, and an event area of 27 hectares, the event was larger than ever before.
Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS) also made a significant contribution to this success with its diverse and engaging exhibits—ranging from 3D printing, health literacy, and family council, to nature and high tech, aging/dementia, migration, multimedia technology, and more. CUAS (FH Kärnten) was represented with 13 out of a total of 106 stations. The content presented was academically impressive and communicated in an appealing way, which was very well received by both young and old alike. We also had the opportunity to present our NEXT project at the event, which was a valuable experience and met with great interest from visitors.
We are already looking forward to participating in future events.
