Fulbright-Hall Distinguished Chair for Entrepreneurship anchored at the WU - Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien from 2009-10 through 2012-13.


Former U.S. Ambassador to Austria Kathryn Hall and Mr. Craig Hall

The Austrian-American Educational Commisson is pleased to announce that Kathryn and Craig Hall have agreed to continue to sponsor the Fulbright-Hall Distinguished Chair for Entrepreneurship for three additional academic years.

The Fulbright-Hall Chair, which is among the most generous awards available to U.S. scholars under the auspices of the Fulbright Program, was established shortly after the end of the Halls' tenure in Vienna in 2001 and has "floated" in Central Europe over a five year period (see previous recipients below).

As of the 2009-10 academic year, the Fulbright-Hall Distinguished Chair will be anchored at the Department for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the WU Wirtschaftsunivesität Wien. Grantees will teach two courses at the WU and one "block course" at a partner institution of the WU in Central Europe.
