Metalab is Vienna's oldest and largest hackerspace, offering a vibrant atmosphere where individuals with a passion for art, technology, society, and sciences come together to pursue their curiosity and engage in collaborative projects. As a hackspace, Metalab is not limited to computer systems hacking but embraces the concept of using knowledge and curiosity to overcome technical and creative challenges in various domains, including software systems, clothing, hardware, and more. At Metalab, creativity and knowledge thrive through its diverse community and interest groups focused on programming, network technology, electronics, robotics, art, activism, and inclusivity.

The space hosts regular meetups, workshops, lectures, and events that are open to the public and free of charge. Metalab prides itself on being an inclusive community that welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and abilities, and collaborations with Define and MACH'S AUF! make the space more accessible. Metalab's well-equipped facility includes tools and machines such as a laser cutter, 3D printers, CNC mill, sewing machines, and an electronics laboratory, available for use by guests under supervision.

While membership is encouraged to support the space, visitors can enjoy most facilities without becoming a member. Metalab's friendly and knowledgeable members are always happy to provide tours and assistance during regular open days or the exclusive MetaInvasion day. Join Metalab and dive into a thriving community of creative minds in the heart of Vienna
