The future interests me - I'm going to spend the rest of my life there.
-Mark Twain

Creating a shared future.
Advances in technology are transforming all aspects of life, creating new opportunities for society and raising compelling scientific issues. In an effort to collectively address the potential, open innovation in science facilitates a stronger focus on society's needs in research.

The world is our laboratory.
We aim to foster a new culture of openness and dialog involving both members of society and academia. We encourage researchers to explore Open Innovation in Science through workshops and events. We support tangible projects at the JKU and assist in their implementation to create a fertile ground on which future collaboration and a diversity of perspectives can grow.

Our declared objective is to create added value for everyone involved and build "The future we want!”.
