Welcome to Linz, the third largest city in Austria.

We support scholarship holders of the OeAD – Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation in all important matters relevant for a successful scholarship stay in Austria, regardless of whether they are from Europe or non-EU/EEA countries or which programme they are supported by.

We also consult and support project leaders with administrative aspects and payment of project funds for university projects.
