The Honorary Committee 2027

A honorary committee is an important part of every traditional Viennese ball. With their participation, the members of this honorary committee emphasize the excellence, diversity and internationality of Vienna’s universities and research institutions. All rectors and directors of all universities, private universities, universities of applied sciences in the Vienna region are part of the honorary committee, as well as the presidents of ÖAW, ISTA, IIASA, AIT and Wolfgang Pauli Institute. They represent the valuable contribution of scientists and researchers, teaching staff and students to the social climate and intellectual capital, towards a culture of enlightenment and a cosmopolitan atmosphere, in short – towards a tolerant spirit in this city.
