The ASciNA Mentoring Program is generously supported by the Alumni Club of the Medical University of Vienna. Within this mentoring framework established Austrian scientists and scholars provide aspiring scientists from Austria with guidance, experience and knowledge. At best the professional support leads to a lifelong friendship. Registration for new mentoring cycle 2012/2013 is now possible. More

The 2011 ASciNA Awards were presented by BMWF Secretary-General Friedrich Faulhammer at the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York as part of the Austrian Science Talks 2011. The winners were Thomas Karl, an atmospheric scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado for his Science paper: " Efficient Atmospheric Cleansing of Oxidized Organic trace Gases by Vegetation" and Georg Stadler, a research scientist at the University of Texas in Austin's "Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences Center" for his work published in Science: "The Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and mantle Flow: From Local to Global Scales" Georg's work also was featured on the cover of science that week.

A detailed account of the Science Talks can be found in the fall edition of "bridges", published by the Austrian Office of Science and Technology in Washington DC.
