Spring Festival

We are happy to invite you to the ISTA Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival is an internal afternoon event, which offers the opportunity to meet new (and old) colleagues and have an informal exchange about the many science and non-science related activities that the community of ISTA is all about.

However, one thing is for sure. There will be live music and you can be part of it! In case you want to showcase your musical talent, please write to Sue Shi sue.shi@ist.ac.at

Please register for the Spring Festival and let us know by May 1 if you will attend (so we can order enough food). Food and soft drinks will be free of charge. You will be able to buy beer and wine from the caterer during the Spring Festival. 

You will need to get a free wristband in order to get food and drinks from the catering at the Spring Festival.

Where can you get a wristband?

If you want to avoid the queue you can collect your wristband at the Event Office (Voest Alpine Building I03.EG.010) from May 2 onwards. You can also get the wristbands on the day of the Spring Festival: either from 2 pm onwards from a wristband station next to the pond or from 3 pm from the Communications booth at the Spring Festival site.
