The Stefan Meyer Institute (SMI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has a long-standing experience on experimental subatomic physics. Its activity includes three main topics: matter-antimatter symmetry, hadron physics and advanced instrumentation. For the experimental tasks SMI has laboratories and technical infrastructures specialized in cryogenics, high-precision mechanics and vacuum technologies. SMI is involved in experiments at CERN/AD, PSI (Switzerland), LNF-INFN (Italy), TRIUMF (Canada), KEK and JPARC (Japan).

OeAW has specific roles in JRA8-ASTRA and JRA14-MPGD_HP.
