What we do
In Austria and Europe, our mission is creating partnerships and networks as part of a vision of working together to build next generation Europe. We seek to do this across a range of areas which represent culture in the broadest sense.
Together with colleagues in South East Europe we work on large-scale projects that involve partners in many countries and the UK. We are currently involved in four regional projects.
