The Host Location: Steyr & Austria

Austria is centrally located in Europe. The official language is German, and the currency is the Euro.
Travelling to Steyr is straightforward thanks to good rail, air and road connections.

Steyr will be the center of Unicon 22. This is where the Unicon Village and most competition venues are located.
Almost all locations are within easy walking distance.
The downhill course is outside the city (about an hour away); a shuttle service will be provided.

Benjamin Fischer
Head of IT (Co-Main Organiser)
Why I am part of the team:
Pascal asked me if I could take care of the IT. Since I studied computer science, I agreed. We have the opportunity to build modern and stable processes. When one of the main organisers later stepped down, I also took on the role of co-director.

Domenik Altmann
Coordination of Event Directors
Why I am part of the team:
After several participations, I wanted to contribute organisationally for the first time. Creating a special experience together is a great motivation for me.
