Gerfried Stocker (artist director and CEO of  AEC) opened the ceremony. He, and later Andreas Bauer, talked about the planned outreach activities of ESERO at AEC. The focus will be on STEM- activities, empowering teachers and students supported by the great technical, and visual capabilities of AEC.

Kai-Uwe Schrogl, (Head of ESA’s Strategy Department) congratulated the persons responsible of AEC on their succesful candidacy for establishing the Austrian ESERO.

ESERO will be supported by BMVIT and FFG. Ingolf Schädler (head of division Innovation at BMVIT) gave a talk about this matter.
