The scholarship students will benefit from various cultural and social activities organized by the ISUWU team. These activities will give them the opportunity to gain insights into life in Vienna and Austria and get to know their fellow students. The social program is a mix of social, cultural and international events. Activities may for instance include guided tours of world-famous museums like the “Albertina” or a visit to a traditional Viennese “Heuriger,” where students can experience the unique atmosphere of a typical Austrian wine tavern.
