Campus of the University of Vienna
The IAEA 2016 will be held at the Campus of the University of Vienna.
The Campus of the University Vienna was inaugurated in 1998 and is located on the sites of the former Vienna General Hospital, which was founded in 1693. The worldwide first known hospital for mental illnesses, the so-called Fool’s Tower (Narrenturm), which was later on transformed into a museum, stands on the grounds of the campus.
Today, the Campus inhibits more than 15 departments of the Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies and the Faculty of Philological and Cultural Studies and has become the centre point for students, researchers and businesses.
