All selected participants receive a full fellowship that covers the conference fee, all papers and books, lodging and meals. We provide limited travel scholarships if required for participants from outside of Austria. Please use the application form to tell us about your need for such a travel scholarship.

Conference Site

The conference takes place at the Haus am Sonntagberg, one of Austria’s most beautifully located retreat houses. Its history reaches back to the 13th century. Nowadays the hotel on top of the “Mountain of the Lord” is a perfectly noble and classy hotel for all kind of events. It can be easily reached by train or car within two hours from Vienna or Salzburg. We provide a shuttle service between the train station Amstetten and the hotel at the beginning and the end of the conference.
