With the WU Community Lounge, we are creating an exclusive gathering place for our alumni and partners. Located in the heart of Campus WU, it offers a space for exchange and networking at select events.

We cordially invite you to the opening of the lounge and to be among the first to experience this new gathering place for our community.

Harald Oberhofer, a professor at WU and senior economist at WIFO, will give a first impulse in the new lounge. With an eye toward the upcoming midterm elections in the U.S., he will talk about Donald Trump’s economic and foreign trade policies and their potential impact on the elections.

Secure one of the limited spots.
