Every year, The Austrian Fulbright Alumni (AFA) association welcomes new alums into its ranks and organizes events aimed at integrating current US program participants into the community and showcasing Austrian culture. Below is a message from the AFA with information about upcoming events that members of the Fulbright Austria community are invited to attend.
An invitation from the Austrian Fulbright Alumni
8 October 2025Our partners at the association cordially invite you to join them at a number of events.
Greetings from the Austrian Fulbright Alumni association!
We look forward to continuing our cooperation with Fulbright Austria, fostering exchange between former grantees and current students, scholars, and teaching assistants during their stay in Austria.
We would like to draw your attention to two offers that might be of interest to you.
Home dinners
The members of the Austrian Fulbright Alumni are happy to invite the US students, scholars, and TAs to a "home dinner" at the members’ private residences in the time period of October–December 2025.
This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know another piece of Austrian culture and to mingle with former Fulbrighters who used to be part of the exchange program.
Please be so kind and send us (email address: office@fulbrightalumni.at) the following information (solely used for the matching process of host and guest) by 17 October:
- Name
- Phone number
- US university
- Field of study
You will receive an email with further details and the contact information of your host as soon as the matching process is completed.
