The Institute of Science and Technology Austria, commonly known as IST Austria, is an international research institute in natural and mathematical sciences, located in Maria Gugging, Klosterneuburg, 20 km northwest of the Austrian capital of Vienna. It was established and inaugurated by the provincial government of Lower Austria and the federal government of Austria in 2009.
IST Austria is modeled after ETH Zurich, Weizmann Institute, and the Max Planck Society. Scientists are encouraged to pursue their own goals and ideas not restricted by government or economic interest. The institute currently consists of 49 research groups and is expected to grow to about ninety research groups by 2026. Its graduate school offers an interdisciplinary doctoral program in the life, formal and physical sciences. As of June 2017, 127 students were enrolled.
