2021 Houska Prize Review

Austria’s top research projects were honoured on September 23, 2021 with the acclaimed Houska Prize from the B&C Private Foundation. From a longlist of 61 submissions, a high-calibre expert jury selected the winning projects in two categories – Higher Education Research and Research & Development in SMEs – in a two-stage process. The winner of the public choice prize was chosen in an online poll of all the nominated projects.
