The launch of the 'STEM Regions Quality Label' call for proposals was successfully initiated through the Stakeholders' Conference at the Technical Museum on March 15, 2023.
The conference was opened by Mr. Peter Aufreiter, Director General of the Technical Museum Vienna. Alongside engaging interviews with Ms. Sabine Herlitschka, Vice President of the Federation of Austrian Industries, Mr. Ulrich Hörmann, Head of the Finance Department at OeAD, as well as Ms. Therese Niss, Board Member of the Mintality Foundation, and a video message from Minister Martin Polaschek, the main focus was on discussions about 'What defines a STEM Region and how can one become a STEM Region?' This was followed by a panel discussion featuring Edeltraud Stiftinger, CEO of Austria Business Service, representatives from the STEM coordination offices across federal states, Körber Foundation, representatives from the Academy of Fine Arts, HTL Rankweil, and the Welser Profile corporate group.
As a conclusion, attendees had the opportunity to participate in an interactive workshop and network during the buffet.
