The state of Salzburg is offering students the opportunity to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as part of a special campaign in mid-September and early October.

The project, funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and based at the Center for Research of the Christian East at the University of Salzburg, focuses on the role of Syrian Christians in the process of transmission of Classical Greek philosophical and scientific literature during the early medieval period.

This was revealed in a new study by geoscientists at the University of Salzburg.
