The Slovenian Scientific Institute Vienna was established in 2000 with the support of University of Ljubljana and University of Maribor in order to promote bilateral scientific co-operation between institutions and individuals Slovenia and Austria. The Institute offers support, grants and organisational help to researchers, institutions and also cares about the promotion of Slovene heritage in Vienna.

Historical background

The Institute is housed in the Knafelj House in Vienna, which is known for being the residence for students from Slovenia and Carniola since 1676. Luka Knafelj (Lucas Knaffel) as supporter of the funding of the future Slovene intelligentsia enabled many students to study at the University of Vienna. Among others the Slovene poets France Prešeren and Oton Župančič received Knafelj grants in the past.

Activities

One of the main Institute's activity is to assist and support research co-operation between educational institutions, universities, archives, libraries, museums and individuals from Slovenia or Austria pursuing or conducting a research.

The Institute also organises regular lectures, symposium and conferences by guests from Slovenia or Austria and offers a publishing support to Slovene researchers. The Institute houses a library and also serves as a small exhibition venue for artists.
