100 years of Austrian Standards
Austrian Standards celebrates its 100th anniversary on 23 September! Thus, we present an interactive anniversary exhibition at the House of Standards at Heinestraße 38. The exhibition designed by Ars Electronica, Linz, shows the development and application of standards in practice. From now on, you may come and see the exhibition during regular office hours free of charge. For all those who are not able to enjoy the exhibition on site, there is also a virtual exhibition. Just browse our anniversary website to see more.

However, this is just a first highlight as the anniversary year only begins officially in September 2020 and you can already look forward to the activities we organize to let you explore the world of standards!
“Safety, trust, innovation and diversity” are the key messages of our anniversary year. These aspects are examined by exhibits and events in an entertaining and attractive way. Thanks to interactive elements, there is much to be discovered in our exhibition on 100 years of Austrian Standards. The “Penrose triangle” sculpture designed by Ars Electronica invites you to get to now multiple dimensions of standardization. In a “neural network” you can check out how knowledge is interlinked and cross-referenced. An illustrated timeline presented along a corridor allows you to review historical events from the world of standardization. These installations and more are presented to a wider public in pre-booked guided tours and during the “Long Night of Research”. Partner events organized in Vienna and other regions will offer study visits to and exclusive insights into organizations.
This website will be continuously updated with new information and events – so, visit us again soon!
