We provide information on EU integration and European policy issues,
and their relevance for Austria.
Independent of party politics – on a social partnership basis
The Austrian Society for European Politics (ÖGfE) is a politically independent association based on social partnership. We provide information on European integration and promote an open dialogue on current European policy issues and their relevance for Austria. The ÖGfE has many years of experience and expertise in initiating and fostering European debates and acts as a catalyst for the dissemination of European policy information and analyses. The ÖGfE was founded in 1991 and is financed and supported by the Austrian social partners, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB), and the City of Vienna.
