We provide information on EU integration and European policy issues,
and their relevance for Austria.
Independent of party politics – on a social partnership basis
Founded in 1991 and based in Vienna, we are mainly constituted and financed by the Austrian Social Partners and the Oesterreichische Nationalbank. We aim to inform about European integration developments and foster the dialogue on EU-related matters and their implications for Austria.
