The Vienna BioCenter child care center is open to all campus employees and takes children from 3 months to 6 years. Extended opening hours from 7am to 6pm provide a supportive environment for working parents. A nursing room at the Max Perutz Labs is available to support colleagues nursing young children.
The Amateur Dramatic Club (ADC) performs several productions per year with the highlight being the annual Christmas play. Performances feature a mix of song, dance, satire, and slapstick humour and are written and directed by the members of the ADC. Actors come from the entire Vienna BioCenter and include scientists and students alike. There is no previous acting experience required, as the focus is very much on having fun.
The Vienna BioCenter offers access to a wide range of sports activities for regular after-work exercise - from high-intensity, like basketball and running, to a more relaxed pace like yoga and pilates.
In addition to scientific events, there are regular social events organized by Max Perutz Labs, research groups, and other institutes on campus, providing an informal environment to get to know your colleagues at the Vienna BioCenter.
Vienna is the capital of Austria and the economic, cultural, and educational centre of the country. Vienna combines the amenities of a big city with close proximity to the beautiful landscape of the Wienerwald (Vienna Forests) and the Danube River. The city’s affordable and convenient public transport services, outdoor restaurants and markets together with a large international community make it a great place to live.

18th Microsymposium on RNA Biology
The „Microsymposium on RNA Biology“ is an international conference that brings together young scientists, junior and senior group leaders, and company representatives from all over the world to present and discuss their latest findings in the exciting field of small RNAs and beyond. The Microsymposium was founded in 2005 and has established itself as the major small RNA meeting in Europe. It is organized by the four research institutions IMBA, IMP, GMI and the Max Perutz Labs as well as by the RNA community of the Vienna BioCenter.
