The IFK Internationales Forschungszentrum Kulturwissenschaften was founded
in Vienna in 1993. It is an independent institute for advanced study that
aims to support and develop the intellectual enterprise of
transdisciplinary cultural analysis and the study of culture.

To achieve this objective the IFK focuses its work on the following areas:
  a.. Internationalizing the humanities in Austria by hosting renowned
      scholars as Visiting Fellows and Research Fellows
  b.. Extending the reach and utility of the study of culture by
      developing and supporting new Research Foci
  c.. Promoting a problem-oriented, method-conscious, transdisciplinary,
      self-reflexive, intellectual culture by its sponsorship of Lectures
      & Conferences
  d.. Communicating the best and most innovative research results by
      publishing Papers

The IFK's International Advisory Board judges fellowship and project
applications and advises the Director and the Board of Directors on the
design and realization of its many outstanding academic program.

Visiting Fellowships are preferably awarded to internationally recognized
scholars who would like to pursue their own research and are interested to
cooperate with Austrian colleagues. Applications will be peer-reviewed by
IFK's International Academic Advisory Board.
