The Social Lab in Vienna on digital, industry, and space technologies (15–16 October) proved to be far more than a success — it became a space for genuine inspiration and forward-thinking collaboration.
Organised by the Austrian Institute of Technology and hosted at Filmquartier Vienna, the event brought together participants for an inspiring 1.5 days of reflection and co-creation. Together, we not only explored the Do No Significant Harm principle but also dared to imagine bold pathways toward truly sustainable research ecosystems for 2050 and beyond.
A warm thank-you to all participants from across Europe for their energy and engagement throughout the workshop. Your insights, curiosity, and commitment shaped conversations that will continue to resonate well into the future. Special thanks go to our colleague Alexandra Csábi for leading the workshop design and organisation, to Wenzel Mehnert and Arianna Ferrari for their excellent facilitation, and to Michael Bernstein for his valuable contributions and continued support.
