The Campus Vienna Biocenter (short VBC) as a science hot spot offers a valuable and productive atmosphere for researchers. The infrastructure around the 4 basic research institutes and pharmaceutical companies has developed since 1988 to specifically satisfy the needs of highly committed international scientists.

 

Child Care Center

Since 2009, the campus also offers a day care center for children from 3 months to 6 year olds. The staff speaks English and offers flexible opening hours to support researchers with families as well as possible when working at the VBC.

Sports

As a contrast to the brain-wrecking job of doing research, the VBC also organizes regular sport tournaments, like the VBC soccer cup. Everyone working here at the Campus can join one of the teams from MFPL, IMP, IMBA or GMI and compete for honor and to get your mind off work every once in a while.

Amateur Dramatic Club

Apart from these sportive events, the Biocenter has also established an Amateur Dramatic Club, which performs regularly with 3-4 productions a year. Each winter, the Campus is especially looking forward to the annual Christmas Pantomime, in which a classic fairytale is spiced up with anecdotes and supposed-to-be secrets about the Biocenter and everyone working in it.

Social hours & get-togethers

The Campus is continuously growing and merging together. 2010 saw the first joint carnival celebration, including a best costume and group costume award. This joining of forces, not only in the lab, accounts for the warm, welcoming and stimulating atmosphere at the Campus Vienna Biocenter.
