These units pool their common resources in the area of life sciences, coordinate topics and thus create synergies. The association "BIOS Science Austria", whose activities are not aimed at profit, wants to promote research and teaching in the field of life sciences in Austria and the networking and cooperation of the relevant institutions and to make their achievements known to the public. He would like to identify and initiate joint research concerns and also take an operational and coordinating role in R&D projects.
Under the professional moderation of Thomas Lösch, the participants of the retreat at Moarhof developed a promising concept for BIOS Science Austria.
