Bring energy, biodiversity, and carbon topics to your community through guided outdoor science — with formats that connect local sustainability goals to real research at Montanuniversitaet Leoben.
MOSA offers municipalities a structured way to engage citizens, schools, and local partners around climate-neutral industry, circular resources, and resilient landscapes — on a real research site in Leoben.
Whether you are planning a public event, a school partnership, or a community learning day, this page explains how collaboration works, what formats are available, and how to get started.
How it works
Step 1
Tell us about your municipality, target audience, preferred dates, and goals. We reply with format options — from guided tours to half-day workshops.
Step 2
We align the Energy Path route and station focus to your audience — families, youth groups, school classes, or mixed public events — and share practical information on access and logistics.
Step 3
Your community explores the six MOSA stations with Ambassador support — connecting local sustainability priorities to hands-on science in a safe outdoor setting.
Why municipalities join
Energy transition, biodiversity, and carbon applications become tangible through guided outdoor activities — not abstract policy language alone.
Programmes can be adapted for school groups, family days, youth initiatives, or municipal sustainability events.
Trained MOSA Ambassadors lead stations so your team can focus on hosting and community engagement.
Connect local climate and resource topics to ongoing research at the Hydrogen and Carbon Centre in Leoben.
