June 10, 2020, marks the beginning of a very special year for Fulbright Austria as we celebrate the signing of the exchange agreement that launched the Fulbright Program in Austria!

Below you'll find video messages from Fulbright Austria's executive director, Hermann Agis, PhD, and from the honorary co-chairs of Fulbright Austria, Minister Heinz Faßmann and Ambassador Trevor D. Traina, to mark the start of this momentous occasion.

In addition, Fulbright Austria would like to share a video message from the rector of the University of Innsbruck, Dr. Tilmann Märk. Fulbright Austria thanks the University of Innsbruck for their gracious offer to host the event in Innsbruck. Even though we are not able to celebrate in person due to COVID-19, we are pleased Dr. Märk also took the time to make a video to help us celebrate our 70th anniversary.

Let us celebrate “70 years of bright minds.” together!
