Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As your local hosts for EURAPS and the ERC Meeting 2026, it is both a pleasure and an honor to welcome you to Vienna.
Vienna is more than a backdrop of history and culture, it is a city that lives and breathes through its cafés, its restaurants, its quiet streets and vibrant corners. It is a place we both call home and we are excited to share with you, not only as scientists and surgeons, but as fellow lovers of beauty, conversation, and good food.
To make your stay even more enjoyable, we have put together a short list of our personal favorite spots around the city – places we go to unwind, to meet friends, to reflect, or simply enjoy a good meal or a drink. These are not tourist recommendations – they are part of our everyday Vienna.
We hope you will find joy in discovering them, and that they will add a local, personal flavor to your time here. More than anything, we look forward to welcoming you in person, and to sharing with you not just the science … but the spirit of Vienna !
Warmest regards,
Oskar Aszmann
