The IWM Celebrates Its 35th Anniversary!

To share your thoughts and memories, we invite you to leave a birthday message...

35 years ago, a group of young scholars founded the IWM as an Institute for Advanced Study in Vienna, wishing to foster the intellectual discourse between East and West in the Humanities and Social Sciences. What, in the beginning, seemed to be a crazy idea turned out as a success story. During the years, the IWM became a vibrant center of intellectual life in Vienna. Since its inception, the Institute hosted about 1.500 scholars, journalists and translators from all over the world and organized a large number of public debates, lectures and conferences.

We want to thank all fellows, guests, friends, supporters, cooperation and media partners, who joined us on this exciting journey, and look forward to good, cooperative partnerships as well as inspiring and stimulating discussions in the future.
