Experienced colleagues from the respective disciplines will guide you through their daily working area. As they are more than familiar with the exhibitions our guides will be available for questions.- Tour 1: The great 27-inch Grubb Refractor at the Department of Astrophysics (Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy of the University of Vienna; Monday afternoon)

Wednesday, 20 September 2023, evening: Conference Dinner
The MinWien2023 Conference Dinner will take place at the Festival Hall of Vienna's City Hall on Wednesday, 20 September, 2023.
Starting time: 19:00 (doors will open at 18:30).
Vienna's City Hall is one of the many famous buildings located on the "Ringstraße" surrounding the city center. It was designed by the architect Friedrich Schmidt (1825-1891) and was constructed between 1872 and 1883 in the neogothic style. At the top of the building tower is a well-known symbol of Vienna: The "Rathausmann" with a monumental height of 5.4 m.
The Festival Hall is an impressive room being 71, 20, and 18.5 m in length, width, and height. Attending the Conference Dinner will be a wonderful opportunity to taste traditional Viennese cuisine and local wines. The City Hall can be reached easily from the Conference Site by a 10-minute ride with tram "D".
