Austrian Society for European Politics

Mission & Goals

The Austrian Society for European Politics (Österreichische Gesellschaft für Europapolitik, ÖGfE) is a non-governmental and non-partisan platform mainly constituted by the Austrian Social Partners and the Oesterreichische Nationalbank. ÖGfE, managed by a Secretary General, operates as an association with an executive board chaired by the President and two Vice Presidents. Our mission is to raise awareness and to inform about European integration, foster dialogue on EU-related issues, and their impact on Austria and beyond. With long-standing expertise, we encourage open discussions and European debates on European politics and policies, acting as a catalyst for disseminating information about European affairs. Through our activities, we aim to actively contribute to building an inclusive European community, where citizens, policy-makers, and researchers work together to promote and foster democratic values, equality, and fundamental rights.
