The Campus Vienna Biocenter (VBC) is one of the most important research facilities in Austria and a hot spot for life sciences in Vienna. In several architecturally striking buildings it combines several institutions. These include the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), a foundational research center belonging to Boehringer Ingelheim, one center each from the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna, as well as the Max F. Perutz laboratories (MFPL) as a joint foundation from both universities. Furthermore, two research institutes from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) are included, the Institute for Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) and the Gregor-Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology (GMI). An FH-course for molecular biotechnology as well as biotech-companies and institutions from the field of science communication (open science) are also located at the VBC. Altogether, more than 2000 people from over 40 countries work and study here.
