After a busy year and a short pause to recharge, WiN IAEA is proud to announce another successful edition of the Vienna International Science & Engineering Fair.

This year, 174 students aged 10 to 18 from 18 schools across seven countries — Austria, the Czech Republic, Georgia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe — presented innovative projects to 50 judges from international organizations in Vienna. Their ideas spanned clean energy, AI-driven healthcare, climate adaptation, and space technology — proving that young minds are not just learning science, they’re shaping its future.

The energy in the room was electric.
