It is our pleasure to welcome you to this year’s Austrian Carbohydrate Workshop taking place in Vienna at the TU Wien in joint organization with BOKU Wien. It is the 26th edition of this traditional yearly reunion of Austrian glycoscientists.

Starting with only a handful of pioneers of the Austrian Carbohydrate community, today our meetings to attract around 100 scientists from all areas of the glycosciences:

• Synthetic Glycochemistry
• Glycobiology
• Glycan Analysis
• Carbohydrate Based Materials
• Technology of carbohydrate based systems

In tradition of our former meetings alongside prestigious plenary and invited lectures, particularly our younger colleagues will find opportunity to present their results with a focus set on presentations from PhDs and young PostDocs.

As new feature, this year, we aim to unite glyco-scientists from academia and industry to enable new and promote old collaboration or initiate contacts between future employers and employees. There will be plenty of time for networking during a welcome hour, the coffee breaks as well as a short beer reception followed by a dinner on Thursday night which all participants are encouraged to join.

The Austrian Carbohydrate Workshop (ACW) 2023 will take place in the TUtheSky, the prestigious lecture hall on the 11th floor of TU Wien’s tower with beautiful sights over the centre of Vienna.

We are looking forward to see you all there!
