Univie: Winter School for Cultural Historical Studies

The Winter School for Cultural Historical Studies 2027, titled "The Discovery of Modernity - Vienna Around 1900," will be held in Vienna from January 29 to February 12, 2027.

The winter school courses provide a well-structured introduction to the culture of the fin-de-siècle. The two-week program combines first-class academic courses with an extensive social and cultural program. The lectures in the morning are complemented with excursions to the city and to museums in the afternoon.

The rich cultural heritage of Vienna, especially the museums, will lead to a thorough understanding of the impact of the fin-de-siècle on the modernization of Europe.

The academic course environment encourages intercultural and social exchange and favors mutual understanding within the international student population. Participants thus broaden their horizons, meet colleagues from different fields of study, make friends for life, and build connections for their future professional careers.
