Welcome Reception
6 June 2011, 7.30 pm
Vienna City Hall
Rathausplatz 1
1010 Vienna
All IRF Conference and Symposium participants were invited to our welcome reception, which - in cooperation with the Mayor's office - was held in the Vienna City Hall. As a city with ambitions to host innovative research and industry, Vienna offers many opportunities for cutting-edge research projects and institutions. The City Hall is one of the most splendid amongst the numerous monumental buildings along Vienna's Ringstrasse. Designed by Friedrich Schmidt (1825-1891), it was built between 1872 and 1883 in gothical style, with a tower similar to gothic cathedrals.
