On the other hand, all exchanges contributed significantly to strengthening cooperation within our international project team.                                <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                        <button class=\"secondary-btn\">Read more<\/button>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/li>\n                                            <li class=\"post-item\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/en\/hackathon-2026-2027\/\">\n                                                    <div class=\"img-wrap\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\" data-src=\"https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bild-057-350x250.jpg\" class=\"attachment-consulting-image-350x250-croped lazyload\" alt=\"\" title=\"\u00a9 Joseph Krpelan, 2026\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bild-057-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bild-057-255x182.jpg 255w, https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bild-057-900x640.jpg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 350px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 350\/250;\" \/>                                <div class=\"date-wrap third_bg_color\">\n                                    August 2, 2026                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"post-info\">\n                            <div class=\"post-title\">\n                                <h3>\n                                    Hackathon 2026\/2027                                <\/h3>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                            <div class=\"post-excerpt\">\n                                    For the second time, the course \u201eUrban Research to Practice: Science4Policy Hackathon\u201c will bring together up to 50 Master students from the University of Vienna to analyse local sustainability challenges and develop recommendations for actions together with experts and decision-makers from the City of Vienna.                                <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                        <button class=\"secondary-btn\">Read more<\/button>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/li>\n                                            <li class=\"post-item\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/en\/positionality-of-the-urban-studies-student-cohort\/\">\n                                                    <div class=\"img-wrap\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\" data-src=\"https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG20251216174719-350x250.jpg\" class=\"attachment-consulting-image-350x250-croped lazyload\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG20251216174719-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG20251216174719-255x182.jpg 255w, https:\/\/urbanlab.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG20251216174719-900x640.jpg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 350px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 350\/250;\" \/>                                <div class=\"date-wrap third_bg_color\">\n                                    February 10, 2026                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"post-info\">\n                            <div class=\"post-title\">\n                                <h3>\n                                    Where do we come from and where are we headed as urban researchers?
