FestivalAtlas
Annual academic ball uniting Vienna’s science community with Viennese ball tradition. Held in the City Hall, it combines formal dances (waltz, polonaise, midnight quadrille) with science-themed exhibits and talks. The night features debutante presentations, live orchestras, and the midnight quadrille inviting all guests. Funds often support STEM outreach.
Begun in 2016 to celebrate Vienna’s research excellence, the Ball of Sciences is part of the winter ball season. It modernizes the classic Viennese ball by incorporating interdisciplinary experiences (e.g. science displays), while preserving formality and charity aspects. It emphasizes local pride in science and tradition.
