Why Vienna

In 2026, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) is holding its 20th Annual Scientific Meeting in Vienna, marking a long-standing and successful collaboration with the Vienna Convention Bureau and Austria Center Vienna. Every year, Vienna welcomes our participants, who appreciate the city’s unique atmosphere, efficient public transport system, cultural heritage, multicultural environment and green spaces along the Danube.

Hosting the EULAR 2024 in Vienna was a great success. Vienna proved to be an outstanding meeting destination and a strong attraction for delegates. As organiser, we valued the collaboration with the VIECON Team, the city accessibility, the political stability, efficient public transportation, and the close proximity of hotels to the convention centre.

Vienna combines academic spirit, cultural depth and professional reliability, making it a natural home for green meetings and international dialogue. For SGEM WORLD SCIENCE (SWS) Scholarly Society, the Vienna Convention Bureau is a valuable, trusted partner. Vienna is the real place where SCIENCE MEETS ART.
