The 21st Klimatag took place online under the motto "Clash of Cultures? Climate Research Meets Industry!" The cooperation with Montanuniversität Leoben provided the ideal setting for this: as one of the TU Austria universities, it combines, among other things, technology with science and the fields of raw materials science. Due to the particular challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Klimatag could not take place in 2020. As a result, the 21st Klimatag's scientific programme was made up of submissions from the call in autumn 2019 together with submissions from the call in autumn 2020.
