INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Fulbright Program is based on legislation initially proposed and sponsored by U.S.
Senator J. William Fulbright (Arkansas) in 1946. The legislation, best known as the
Fulbright Act, authorized the Secretary of State to use proceeds from the sale of surplus
war property outside the United States to finance exchanges of students, teachers,
scholars, and scientists.
This legislation provided an unprecedented amount of funding for exchange programs. It
gave international students and scholars unparalleled opportunities to study, to pursue
research, and to teach in the United States and provided U.S. citizens with equally
unparalleled opportunities to engage in the same kinds of pursuits abroad. The Fulbright
Program also introduced a new concept for the management of exchange agreements by
establishing binational commissions for program administration.
In 1961 the Fulbright-Hays Act consolidated various pieces of educational and cultural
exchange legislation. Fulbright-Hays broadened the scope of the program, provided for
U.S. government funding thereof as a line item in the federal budget, and authorized the
receipt of contributions from other governments to fund the program. The act also
expressly defined the mandate of the Fulbright Program as follows: "to increase mutual
understanding between the people of the United States and the peoples of other countries
by means of educational and cultural exchange."
The Fulbright program in Austria began in June 1950 when the Austrian and U.S.
governments signed the first of three Fulbright Agreements. The first exchanges under the
auspices of the U.S. Educational Commission in Austria took place during the 1951-52
academic year. After the Fulbright-Hays Act was passed in 1961, a new agreement
between the Republic of Austria and the United States of America was signed on June 25,
1963 establishing the Austrian-American Educational Commission (AAEC) as a binational
entity capable of receiving funds from both partner governments and responsible for the
execution of the Fulbright Program.
The following report summarizes the activities conducted by the Austrian-American
Educational Commission from October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012 during the 61th year
of Fulbright exchanges between Austria and the United States of America.
This report is submitted to the governments of the Republic of Austria and the United
States of America to satisfy the requirement of annual reporting, as stipulated under the
terms of the 1963 binational Agreement, and is also made available to institutions and
individuals with an expressed interest in the Fulbright Program.
The AAEC and its secretariat wish to express their appreciation to the following
governmental and non-governmental organizations on both sides of the Atlantic that
participate in the funding and administration of the program:








Since the late 1990s, the AAEC has to pursued a strategy of “institutional partnering” to
increase the number of awards it can offer and the scope of its activities. By the end of the
2011-2012 program year, the AAEC had operative partnering and cost-sharing
relationships for twenty-four jointly funded awards, and it wishes to acknowledge the
valuable support that it receives from the institutions and individuals listed below:

I. THE AUSTRIAN-AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION BOARD
The Austrian-American Educational Commission (AAEC) board consists of ten members: five
U.S. citizens and five Austrian citizens nominated to serve for one calendar year by their
respective governments. The five U.S. members, two of whom are Foreign Service officers from
the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, are nominated to serve on the board by the U.S. Ambassador.
Three of the five Austrian members appointed by the Austrian government traditionally have
been Austrian university professors and two have been representatives of the ministry
responsible for higher education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, respectively. The dates of
the initial appointment of the respective members are noted in brackets below.
The AAEC Board meets on a quarterly basis to discuss budgetary, policy, procedural, and
program issues and has a number of subcommittees that meet on an ad hoc basis. The
Executive Director of the AAEC reports to and is monitored by the AAEC board.
The AAEC Chairperson and the AAEC Treasurer are elected annually. These positions rotate
annually between the Austrian and U.S. members of the Board. The Austrian Minister
responsible for higher education and the Ambassador of the United States of America to Austria
serve as honorary chairpersons of the AAEC.
The following individuals served on the AAEC board during the 2011-2012 program year:

II. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
During the 2011-12 program year, the Austrian-American Educational Commission had an
operative budget of $ 1,578,234 (€ 1,219,995) Under the auspices of Fulbright awards in
various grantee categories, grantees received an additional $ 864,942 (€ 679,245) of direct or
in-kind support in the form of scholarships, awards, tuition remissions, housing, or salaries as
teaching assistants. The AAEC was in a position to fund 66 grants in its core programs

20 Austrian students enrolled in U.S. Master’s or PhD programs
7 Austrian Foreign Language Teaching Assistants at U.S. colleges and universities
3 Austrian scholars
1 U.S. Distinguished Chair
17 U.S. lecturers and researchers
15 U.S. students enrolled at Austrian universities
3 U.S. Fulbright Specialists
Furthermore, one Austrian scholar received a grant under the auspices of the FulbrightSchuman Program co-funded by the European Commission and the U.S. government, and the
AAEC brought four U.S. Fulbright scholars participating in the program in other European
countries to Austria as guest lecturers in the Intercountry Lecture Program.
The AAEC also facilitated the placement of 143 U.S. college and university graduates as
teaching assistants at Austrian secondary schools under the auspices of a program it has
managed for the Austrian Ministry of Education, the Arts and Culture since 1962. U.S. teaching
assistants serve in a wide range of secondary schools in communities large and small all over
Austria, and they work with hundreds of different teachers and have contact with an estimated
40,000 students each week.
The AAEC also successfully continued to extend its network of affiliation and collaboration
during the 2011-12 program year.
The AAEC concluded five new letters of understanding establishing so-called “hyphenated
awards” with the following institutions: the FH JOANNEUM, Graz; FH IMC Krems; FH Salzburg;
International Management Center, Innsbruck; and the Technical University, Graz.
Dr. Max Schachner (Head of Academic Mobility at IMC Krems and
Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Arizona State University,2005), Dr.
Lonnie R. Johnson (Executive Director, Fulbright Commission), Dr.
Karl C. Ennsfellner (IMC Krems Vice-Rector) with the one of the four
recently concluded collaborative agreements establishing a Fulbright
Visiting Professorship at leading universities of applied sciences.

Prof. Horst Bischof (Vice Rector TU Graz), Prof. Harald Kainz (Rector TU Graz), Dr.
Lonnie Johnson (Executive Director AAEC), Mag. Sabine Prem (Head International
Office TU Graz), Prof. Hofmann-Wellenhof (Vice Rector TU Graz)
Four of these five awards are with universities of applied arts (Fachhochschulen) and represent
a new field of collaboration for the AAEC with leading institutions in this postsecondary sector.
These awards were advertised for the first time in the U.S. by CIES as of January 2012. These
new partner institutions will host their first Fulbright visiting professors from the U.S during the
2013/14 academic year, cover the great majority of their on-site costs, and contribute a total of
€ 100,000 towards their grants.
The inaugural Fulbright-Mach awards for four U.S. research students were made during the
2011-12 program year and represented a new, indirect contribution of the Austrian Ministry of
Science and Research toward the Fulbright Program of € 33,840 (€ 940 per month per grantee
disbursed directly to the grantees for nine months).
In 2011, the Dietrich W. Botstiber Foundation agreed to support two new Fulbright-Botstiber
Visiting Professors in Austrian-American Studies – one for an Austrian scholar to be hosted by a
U.S. institution and one for an American scholar to be hosted by an Austrian one – with awards
of $ 20,000 each annually for three years. During the 2011/12 program year the Council for
International Exchange of Scholars in Washington, D.C. and the AAEC entertained applications
for these new awards for the 2012/13 program year.
Starting in 2010-11, the AAEC, WU Vienna, and the Craig and Kathryn Hall Foundation (Dallas,
TX) agreed to anchor the Fulbright-Hall Distinguished Chair for Entrepreneurship in Central
Europe at the WU Vienna, and in the course of the 2011-12 program year the trustees of the
Hall Foundation agreed to extend the funding for this award ($ 50,000 per annum) for an
additional three academic years: (from 2013/14 through 2015/16).
In 2011/12, the AAEC also directly recruited three new institutions to host Austrian Foreign
Language Teaching Assistants in the U.S. for the 2012-13 program year: Emory University
(GA), Rollins College (FL), and Linfield College (OR). It also revived its working relationship
with the University of Illinois (Urbana/Champaign), which had hosted Austrian FLTAs in the past
and resumed doing so for 2012-13.
On March 6, 2012, the AAEC hosted Susan Ness, the Vice Chair of the J. William Fulbright
Scholarship Board in Washington, D.C., and organized a roundtable for her to meet with current
U.S. and former Austrian Fulbright students, scholars, and foreign language teaching
5
assistants. Ms. Ness also had an opportunity to meet with Barbara Weitgruber, AAEC Chair,
and Jan Krc, AAEC Treasurer.
On March 23-25, the AAEC extended an invitation to the twenty-four executive directors of
European Fulbright commissions to participate in a self-evaluation entitled “Challenges of the
Next Decade for the Fulbright Program in Europe.” This conference started with a DVC at the
U.S. Embassy, Vienna, with representatives of the Bureau for Educational and Cultural Affairs
which was followed by a series of roundtable discussions in the offices of the AAEC in the
MuseumsQuartier.

Finally, two publications on the history of the early years of Fulbright program in Austria
appeared in 2012. The first was a special volume of the Austria’s premiere journal for
contemporary history, zeitgeschichte (2012/1), that consisted of five articles on exchange
programs in postwar Austria and Germany. These articles were based on papers presented at
an international conference the AAEC organized at the Amerika Haus in Vienna under the
auspices of the celebration of its sixtieth anniversary on November 18-19, 2010: “Impacts:
Does Academic Exchange Matter?” The second publication was a book by Thomas Koenig, Die
Frühgeschichte des Fulbright Programs in Österreich: Transatlantische Fühlungnahme auf dem
Gebiet der Erziehung, an abridged version of his doctoral dissertation that was based to a
6
considerable extent on research conducted in the AAEC archives. Both of these publications
were presented at a well-attended event at the Amerika Haus on June 14, 2012.

III. THE FULBRIGHT AWARDS
AUSTRIAN STUDENTS
The AAEC received 30 applications from Austrian students for Fulbright placement and
financial aid in May 2010 and interviewed 28 candidates in June 2010 for the 2011/12
program year. The commission initially nominated 23 candidates and recommended them
to the Institute of International Education (IIE) in New York for placement in Master’s and
PhD programs in October 2010.
One of the great advantages of working with IIE is the central management of applications
to U.S. universities. Austrian candidates list up to four universities to which they wish to
apply. The IIE placement section reviews these proposals for balance. Based on the
candidate’s choice of program and prospects for admission, IIE suggests alternate
institutions, taking the prospects of tuition remission or scholarships into account. IIE also
submits applications for candidates, which gives them the added advantage of entering the
admissions review process at the respective institutions as potential Fulbright grantees,
and it assumes all application-related costs.
The Institute of International Education also annually organizes so-called Gateway
Programs, one-week-long orientation programs with the following objectives: to provide
skills essential for academic success; to provide an introduction to U.S. academic culture;
to reinforce the Fulbright identity; to explain the roles of the sponsoring and administrative
agencies; to provide a period of acclimation to life and study in the U.S.; and to begin
Fulbright networking activities.

Nine Austrian students participated in Gateway Programs with other incoming Fulbright
grantees from all over the world before starting their academic programs. During their first
academic year in the U.S., Austrian Fulbright students also were eligible to apply for
participation in four-day long “Enrichment Seminars”, which were held at different regional
venues in the U.S. between February and April with all travel costs and per diems being
assumed by IIE.
“The Gateway orientation in Nebraska was
great! We received helpful information on
life and study in the US, the Fulbright
program and how to deal with culture shock.
Also, our host, the University of Nebraska at
Lincoln organized home stays, where we got
to spend time with American families, which
was a great way to experience the US way
of life.”

Of the 23 candidates the AAEC initially nominated for awards, 3 candidates ultimately
withdrew from the program for personal or professional reasons, and IIE placed 20
Austrian students at U.S. universities. The AAEC provided Austrian Fulbright students with
travel grants of € 800, grant-related health and accident insurance, and awards of up to
$25,000 for tuition and/or living expenses. Twenty Austrian students from previous
program years had their Fulbright status extended for another year of study.
The level of support individual students received from the AAEC depended upon the overall
costs of the programs individuals chose and the scholarship and financial aid offers
receiving institutions made. Although the majority of students received the full $25,000
awards, seven of the 20 Austrian Fulbrighters received such generous offers from receiving
U.S. institutions that they did not require the entire $25,000 award to cover their tuition
and living costs.

“These experiences are hard to put into
words and it is even harder to explain one’s
emotions. One can only truly understand it if
one experiences it and I would like to
recommend warmly to everyone to take this
exciting step!”
Furthermore, IIE solicited scholarships, grants, and tuition rebates for Austrian Fulbright
students from their receiving institutions totaling $ 292,105. IIE also provided $ 25,000 in
support from its Shepherd Fund in June 2011 as the second-year funding of four
candidates from the 2010-11 Fulbright student cohort.

Since the academic year 2005-2006, the Austrian Fulbright Student Program has been
used as the institutional vehicle to award grants previously funded in a separate program
and known as BMWF Postgraduate Stipendien. The combination of Fulbright awards with
BMWF postgraduate awards eliminated a number of redundancies between the programs
and represents a very effective allocation of funds. For the 2011-12 program year, the
AAEC received € 360,000 in funding for Austrian postgraduate awards from the Austrian
Ministry of Science and Research. If the AAEC has any uncommitted Austrian postgraduate
funds at the end of a given program year, it rolls these funds over into a reserve fund for
use in future years.
The Austrian Ministry of Science informed the AAEC in November 2010 that, due to severe
budgetary pressures, it was compelled to reduce the level of funding it could place at the
disposal of the AAEC for Austrian postgraduate awards as of the 2012-13 program year to
€ 200,000. The AAEC decided to correspondingly reduce the number of awards it would
offer in the future.
“My first year in Columbia University’s MFA
program for Theatre Management and
Producing has truly exceeded my hopes and
expectations on each and every level. I am
so very grateful to the Austrian-American
Fulbright Commission for enabling me to
study and live in a creative and academic
environment that has made for a more
rewarding and more exciting experience
than I could have ever imagined.”

AUSTRIAN TEACHING ASSISTANTS
Fourteen Austrians applied for Fulbright German language teaching assistantships. They
were graduates of post-secondary teacher training institutions, universities, and students
of English, German, translation, or Deutsch als Fremdsprache (DAF) in the second stage
(zweiter Studienabschnitt) of their studies.

“Immerging into an excitingly different
culture, exploiting unlimited travel
opportunities, tasting good foods, working
with zealous students and dedicated
colleagues, meeting like-minded friends, and
doing all that in a homey environment – this
is how I would describe my nine month long
experience as FLTA in Geneva, New York.”
Austrian FLTA Tanja Bruxmeier teaches at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, NY.
In collaboration with the Institute of International Education (IIE), the commission placed
seven Austrians as German language teaching assistants at U.S. colleges and universities
under the auspices of the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistantship (FLTA)
Program. Austrian FLTAs received travel grants of € 800; grant-related health and accident
insurance; and, in most cases, partial maintenance grants from the AAEC. These grants
are calculated on a case-by-case basis, contingent upon the benefits (room and board) or
salaries and stipends individual FLTAs received as teaching assistants from their respective
host institutions. The AAEC attempted to ensure that the total in-kind and cash value of all
FLTA awards was equal to at least $ 14,000.
IIE organized regional Gateway Orientation Seminars for FLTAs from all over the world to
provide them with an introduction to U.S. culture; to exchange ideas and experiences
about teaching foreign languages to U.S. students; and to explain the roles of sponsoring
and administering agencies. FLTAs were also invited to attend a three-day mid-year
seminar in Washington, D.C, in December, which brought together program participants
from all over the country. All associated travel costs, accommodations, and per diems for
this event were assumed by IIE.

“Besides my duties as a teaching assistant at
the university, I had a great time getting to
know the U.S. geographically as well as
socially. I am convinced that my year as a
German language teaching assistant equally
shaped both my personality and my view of
America in a positive way.”
Austrian FLTAs 2011-12 at the Washington Seminar organized by IIE.
The AAEC is particularly interested in continuing to develop this aspect of the program. It fulfills the
Fulbright mandate well and is flexible as well as cost-effective. Host institutions provide a
combination of stipends and salaries or in-kind awards for housing and meals (totaling $ 77,376) in
addition to waiving the tuition for two courses per semester (with tuition remission totaling $
108,394) The total cash and in-kind value of the teaching assistantship positions Austrian FLTAs
assumed in 2011-12 was $ 206,394, and the average level of support (including tuition remission)
for each Austrian teaching assistant was $29,485.

AUSTRIAN SCHOLARS
“I had a very inspiring and great time - and I
am very grateful for all the support I
received from the Fulbright Commission,
from the former Austrian Fulbrighters I had
met before leaving to Minnesota as well as
from all colleagues at the University of
Minnesota.”
Dr. Gundula Ludwig
University of Marburg
Fulbright-University of Minnesota Visiting
Professor in Gender, Women, and Sexuality
Studies
The AAEC has provisions for flexibly awarding three-to-four-month grants. It awarded a
total of 15 months worth of grants to four grantees, including an annual Fulbright Visiting
Professorship at the University of Minnesota (College of Liberal Arts and Center for Austrian
Studies, a partnership inaugurated in 2002-2003). The University of Minnesota tops off this
AAEC award with a partial salary and local housing allowance.
In 2011-2012, the Fulbright Visiting Professor at the University of Minnesota was awarded
to Dr. Gundula Ludwig, University of Marburg, who taught at the Department of Gender,
Women, and Sexuality Studies. This award rotates annually to a different host department
and will move to the Department of Geography in 2012-13.

Dr. DI Peter Ertl
AIT – Austrian Institute of Technology
Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the
University of California - Berkeley
“My research experience was very positive.
As a senior scientist at AIT, my main role is
that of group leader and administrator; it
was very fulfilling to return to the laboratory
to conduct experiments and to be able to
focus my entire energy on a single project.
Also, having been personally involved in the
initial proof of principle of the project will
help me to better supervise future students

The national screening committee of the Institute of International Education in New York
recommended 16 candidates for the academic fields, one for the Diplomatic Academy,
three for the IFK and two for the arts to the AAEC for review and selection for the 2011-12
program year.
The AAEC initially budgeted 8 full research grants and 12 study grants combined with
teaching assistantship positions at Austrian secondary schools for the 2011-2012 program
year. Research grants are usually awarded to PhD candidates and graduate students or
recent undergraduates with study proposals that demand full-time study; study grants
combined with teaching assistantships are usually awarded to students who have recently
completed their BA or are working on a Master’s degree.
Each grantee received a flat rate travel grant of € 800 and grant-related health and
accident insurance financed by the Bureau for Educational and Cultural Affairs under the
auspices of the program. Students with grants combined with teaching assistantship
positions were also insured under the auspices of the Austrian national health schemes by
virtue of their employment at their respective schools. The AAEC assumed the premiums
for similar coverage for the full research grantees.
“During my stay in Austria, I received letters
from my government representatives
congratulating me on receiving the Fulbright.
These included not only the representatives
from the state in which I currently reside
(Louisiana) but also those from the state in
which my university is located (Arizona).”

The AAEC ultimately decided to award 8 full research grants, which included one
Fulbright/Diplomatic Academy joint award (€ 550 maintenance per month for 9 months
plus € 10,000 tuition with a 50% remission from the Diplomatic Academy) and one
Fulbright/IFK Award (€ 1,200 maintenance per month for 9 month with a 50% subsidy
from IFK). Four of the full research grants for Ph.D candidates were funded under the
auspices of newly established Fulbright-Mach awards (see page 5).
The AAEC awarded 8 study grants combined with teaching assistantship positions.
Students with these so-called “combined awards” received gross monthly salaries of €
1,305 per month for 8 months (October-May) and a one-month maintenance grant of €
940 from the AAEC to conclude the academic year in June.

During the 2000-2001 academic year, the Austrian Government introduced tuition fees of
ATS 5,000 (€ 363) per semester for Austrian citizens and € 727 per semester for
international students, starting with the 2001-2002 academic year. However, the relevant
legislation exempted outgoing Austrian students and incoming international students, such
as U.S. Fulbrighters, whose mobility is financed under the auspices of governmentsupported exchange programs. Hence, outgoing Austrian Fulbright students still enrolled in
Austrian universities (for second degrees or doctoral studies) and incoming American
Fulbright grantees were exempted from paying tuition fees in 2011-2012.
18
Although tuition for foreign students at Austrian universities is low by U.S. standards, it
must be borne in mint that the actual costs of university study in Austria are shouldered by
the Austrian government and taxpayers. The National Center for Educational Statistics in
Washington, D.C. estimates the public expenditure per student for higher education in
Austria to average around $ 15,000 per year.

The AAEC received 51 peer-reviewed applications from the Council for International
Exchange of Scholars (CIES): two applications for the Fulbright-Hall Distinguished Chair
and 49 applications for all other “traditional” Fulbright scholar awards managed by the
AAEC.
Prof. Bryant McAllister, Fulbright Visiting Professor at the Vetmed University
2011-12 in the Vienna Riesenrad
The AAEC funded 18 awards for U.S. lecturers and researchers during the 2011-2012
program year: one Fulbright-Hall Chair for Entrepreneurship in Central Europe; two “all
disciplines” lecture/re-search awards; one lecturing in American Studies award; one
Fulbright-Diplomatic Academy Visiting Pro-fessor; one Fulbright-Freud award; one
Fulbright-NAWI Graz award, one Fulbright-quartier21/MQ artist-in-residence, one
Fulbright-IFK Senior Fellow and nine Visiting Professors at partner universities.
The majority of awards for U.S. scholars are based on partnering agreements with a wide
variety of Austrian institutions (see page 2). These so-called “hyphenated awards” provide
for a good distribution of U.S. Fulbright scholars in Austria by discipline and by region. U.S.
scholars taught in six Austrian “university cities” and at a total of 14 different institutions.
Each Fulbright lecturer negotiated the topic, form, level and content of their courses in
advance with their respective Austrian host institutions and taught up to three courses
consisting of two Austrian academic hours each.
U.S. Fulbright scholars regularly serve as “local talent” by lecturing at the annual
Altenmarkt Seminar in American Studies, an event that brings together U.S. students and
scholars with the outgoing cohort of Austrian students and FLTAs, and they also serve as
American experts on the bi-national panels the AAEC organizes to interview candidates for
the Austrian student program each June.

A number of institutional partners also provide housing for U.S. grantees under the
auspices of cost-sharing agreements, and these in-kind contributions substantially enhance
the value of the respective awards.
“I enjoyed MANY meals at an Italian
restaurant named Bella Casa which is near
Johannes Kepler University in Linz, so much
so that I became a “regular” there. I enjoyed
numerous conversations with the wait staff,
including one waiter and one waitress who
spoke English to an extent. This was truly
enriching and enjoyable dialogue for all
parties.”
Prof. James Sneller
Fulbright Visiting Professor at the Johannes
Kepler University in Linz
As of the 2010-11 program year,
the AAEC, WU Vienna, and Craig
and Kathryn Hall Foundation
agreed to anchor the Fulbright-Hall
Distinguished Chair for Entrepreneurship in Central Europe at the
WU Vienna for three years. This
award is designed to give grantees
the opportunity to engage in “splitsite” teaching, and Prof. Charles
Snow, taught not only at the WU
Vienna but also designed and
taught a special intensive course at
the Graduate School of Management of St. Petersburg State University in Russia.
Institutional partners provided over
69% of the funding for the U.S.
Scholar program that was disbursed under the auspices of jointly
funded grants. This corresponds to
29% of the Fulbright grant budget
overall.

FULBRIGHT SPECIALIST PROGRAM
In 2000 the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs established the Fulbright Specialist
Program, a program of short-term grants (2 to 6 weeks) to attract a new group of
individuals to the program. This initiative is centrally funded and administered by the
Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) in Washington, D.C. Under the
auspices of this program, grantees receive an honorarium of $200 per day and round-trip
flight costs to conduct needs, assessments, surveys, institutional or programmatic
research; take part in specialized academic programs and conferences in conjunction with
other scheduled activities; consult with administrators and instructors of post-secondary
institutions on faculty development; present lectures at graduate and undergraduate
levels; participate in or lead seminars or workshops at overseas academic institutions;
develop and/or assess academic curricula or educational materials; or conduct teachertraining programs at the tertiary level. It requires host institutions to assume the on-site
costs for housing, meals and local transportation.
Three Fulbright Specialists spent a total of 71 days on assignment in Austria during the
2011-2012 program year: Prof. Caren S. Neile from Florida Atlantic University lectured at
Webster University, Prof. Susan Lapidus from Mercy College New York visited the
University College of Lower Austria, and Prof. Ani Katchova was hosted by the University of
Natural Resources and Life Sciences.
In March 2012, the Bureau for Educational and Cultural Affairs informed the AAEC that
funding for this program would be discontinued for the time being as part of a
“rebalancing” exercise conceived to shift funding from Europe and Eurasian Fulbright
programs to other world regions. The AAEC informed ECA that it hoped that this funding
could be reinstated in future funding cycles.
INTERCOUNTRY LECTURE PROGRAM
The Fulbright Intercountry Lecture Program facilitates the travel of US Fulbright grantees
in other European countries to Austria by covering the costs of round-trip travel, based
upon the invitation of Austrian host institutions and the assumption that the Austrian host
institutions will cover on-site costs (accommodations and per diems). During the 20112012 program year, the AAEC facilitated visits to Austria for four U.S. Fulbright Scholars
from Greece, Italy, Germany, and Croatia. Austrian host institutions were the Technical
University of Vienna, the Museum of Natural History in Vienna, the TARDIS Project at the
Technical University in Graz, and the Department of American Studies at the University of
Salzburg.

IV. THE US FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIP PROGRAM
Since 1962, the AAEC has facilitated the placement of 2,805 U.S. college and university
graduates in the Austrian Ministry of Education’s Anglophone Teaching Assistantship
Program. In accordance with the broad mandate of the Fulbright Program, (though the
program is not financed with Fulbright funds) the AAEC has traditionally assumed
responsibility for the recruitment and nomination of U.S. teaching assistants, (which are
placed by the Ministry of Education) distributing pre-departure information to students,
negotiating with Austrian authorities regarding residency permits, and providing on-site
support after arrival.
“It is important for me to explain that while I
am an American, I cannot possibly express
the views of three million people. Instead, I
would rather focus on celebrating our
diversity and then discuss how it is through
our diversity that we reach common
conclusions and have such a global reaching
culture.”
Hailey Clowdus
U.S. TA 2010-11 Höhere Technische
Bundeslehranstalt; Salzburg Stadt, Salzburg
The efforts of the AAEC secretariat have substantially increased the number as well as the
quality of applications for the U.S. Teaching Assistant Program. At the same time, the
number of British students interested in participating in the Anglophone TA program has
decreased in recent years, and the Ministry of Education, Culture and the Arts has turned
to the AAEC and U.S. teaching assistants to make up for this shortfall of Anglophone
assistants.
This program has been characterized by steady growth in applications and placements in
the past decade. For the 1999-2000 academic year, for example, the AAEC received a total
of 133 applications and ultimately facilitated the placement of 101 U.S. teaching
assistants. Ten years later in 2009-10, the AAEC received a total of 367 applications and
facilitated 142 placements (including the 12 U.S. Fulbright students who received study
grants combined with teaching assistantships). The AAEC received 258 applications for the
2011-12 program year and placed a total of 143 U.S. teaching assistants (including 7 U.S.
Fulbright students with combined grants). This group included 54 teaching assistants with
superior records of performance who extended their assistantships for a second year.
The U.S. teaching assistants placed at Austrian secondary schools in 2011-12 represented a highly
diverse cohort and came from institutions in 35 different U.S. states. The top U.S. “sending states”
were Ohio (12), Minnesota (9), Michigan (9) and California (9). (See appendix 7).

Teaching assistants were placed in all nine Austrian provinces, in larger as well as smaller
communities, and in a variety of different types of secondary schools. As a rule, U.S.
teaching assistants were assigned to 2 different schools in the same community and taught
13 classes per week. Therefore, they were present in well over 200 schools and 1,600
classrooms in an average week, during which they had contact with an estimated 40,000
students.
This program can truly be considered a major contribution to the cultural exchange
between the U.S. and Austria. It gives Austrian teachers and pupils the opportunity to
have a native speaker as a linguistic model and source of information about the United
States in the classroom, and it provides a diverse group of American teaching assistants
with an opportunity to immerse themselves in Austrian culture in the broadest sense of the
word. Their activities as “linguistic and cultural diplomats” extend well beyond the
limitations of the classroom situation.
U.S. teaching assistants receive gross salaries of € 1,368 per month from the Austrian
U.S. TAs placed in the
province of Salzburg in
the 2011-12 school
year at a reception

school authorities from October 2011 through May 2012 and have full health and accident
insurance coverage under the auspices of their employment as assistants. The total annual
funding allocated to salaries alone for this program represents € 1,461,600 (over
$1,961,000).
Since 2001 the AAEC has received discrete funding for this program from the Austrian
Ministry of Education, the Arts and Culture (BMUKK) to defray part of the administrative
costs it annually incurs to advertise the program, manage and review applications,
coordinate placements, and advise U.S. teaching assistants on site.
V. Additional Fulbright activities
SEPTEMBER ORIENTATION
The U.S. grantees and their dependents attended a four-day orientation program at the
end of September in Vienna prior to beginning their assignments, studies, and research.
The AAEC annually invites representatives of Austrian Ministry of Science and Research
and the Austrian Ministry for Foreign Affairs as well as Austrian scholars to give
presentations as part of this orientation program, which is conceived to provide U.S.
grantees with general insight into the Austrian system of higher education, Austrian
history, and current political and social issues in Austria. The fall orientation for incoming
students and scholars includes guided tours of the Austrian National Library in the Hofburg
Palace and a day trip to the Wachau Valley that combines a tour of the Melk Monastery
with a river cruise down the Danube
U.S. AMBASSADOR’S RECEPTION

Donna, invited incoming U.S. and returning Austrian Fulbright students and scholars to a
reception at their residence on November 15, 2011.

FULBRIGHT PRIZE IN AMERICAN STUDIES
Since 2004, the AAEC has facilitated the award of an annual Fulbright Prize in American
Studies in a competition managed by the Austrian Association of American Studies (AAAS).
At the annual conference of the AAAS in Salzburg in November 2011, Dr. Lonnie Johnson
awarded this prize to Mag.a Carina Lesky (University of Innsbruck) for the best thesis in
American Studies, "Flesh, Stone and Celluloid: An Exploration of Urban Skins," and Mag.
Dr. Andreas Leisner (University of Innsbruck) for the best dissertation in American studies:
"Individualism in U.S. Mythology: The Lawman as Promethean Figure in the Western.”
FEBRUARY ORIENTATION FOR U.S. SCHOLARS
Due to the problematic interface between the U.S. and the Austrian academic calendars,
the great majority of U.S. Fulbright scholars participate in the program during the Austrian
Sommer Semester. Therefore, the AAEC secretariat organizes a two-day orientation
seminar at the end of February to provide U.S. Fulbright scholars with a general
introduction to Austria and Austrian higher education; to allow these grantees to get to
know each other; and to discuss housekeeping issues. It also lays the foundation for the
participation of U.S. scholars in the Altenmarkt Seminar in American Studies in April and as
participants in the panels responsible for interviewing candidates for the Austrian student
program in June.
ALTENMARKT SEMINAR IN AMERICAN STUDIES
This year marked the occasion of the 26th anniversary of annual Altenmarkt Seminar in
American Studies at the venue Haus Burgenland in southern Salzburg. There were 66
participants in attendance: representing all of the AAEC‘s programs Austrian and American
students and professors, GLTAS, a USTA, researchers‘ spouses and children, several
Austrian students interested in the Fulbright Program and American studies. The
participants took part in breakout sessions to encourage discussion about American
Studies-related topics as well as the Fulbright Program and attended lectures given by US
Fulbright Scholars in a wide range of fields.
“Islamophobia, Judeophobia, and Issues of American and
European Cosmopolitanism in Eras of Economic Peril,”
Prof. Kenneth Long at the Altenmarkt Seminar in American
Studies.
26
PRE-DEPARTURE ORIENTATION AND FAREWELL DINNER
At the end of June, the AAEC held a final pre-departure orientation meeting with the
“outgoing” Austrian grantees. This event was followed by the traditional farewell dinner for
homeward-bound U.S. Fulbrighters and provided them with an opportunity to meet with
the outward-bound Austrian Fulbright grantees, whom they initially met at the Altenmarkt
Seminar in American Studies in April.
JULY ORIENTATION FOR CANDIDATES FOR FULBRIGHT STUDENT AWARDS
There are substantial lead times associated with the Austrian student program. Candidates
interested in awards for the 2013-14 program year apply for grants in May 2012. The
annual Fulbright award competition closed at the beginning of May; candidates were
interviewed in early June; and they were notified about the status of their applications by
the end of June. At the beginning of July, Mag. Alexandra Enzi and Dr. Johnson held a
special seminar designed to give Fulbright candidates a more sophisticated understanding
of U.S. higher education in general and the nature of the application process in particular.
The purpose of this seminar is to give candidates the tools they need to investigate
programs and institutions intelligently and to re-craft their applications in a manner that
will enhance their chances of being admitted to the programs of their choice once the
applications are formally submitted in the fall.
Fulbright Austrian student candidates from the 2012-13 cohort
enjoy a break in the AAEC kitchen during the July orientation.
EDUCATIONAL ADVISING/PUBLIC INFORMATION
The secretariat of the AAEC is a U.S. Department of State-affiliated educational advising
center and regularly handles a large number and wide variety of queries on educational
opportunities in the U.S., thus providing a public service and fulfilling part of its mandate
to serve as a clearinghouse in Austrian-American educational affairs in the broadest sense
of the word. Whether or not an Austrian student or scholar applies for a Fulbright grant,
the AAEC is recognized as the source of information in Austria about study and research
opportunities in the United States. Americans abroad also turn to the AAEC regarding
schooling and higher education in Austria and in the United States. Educational advising
also entails a coaching and counseling component insofar as the general public who
contact the AAEC often need assistance in formulating their questions and ultimately their
career goals.
27
During the program year, Mag. Alexandra Enzi, Dr. Irene Zavarsky, and Ms. Molly Roza
regularly participated in study abroad fairs organized by Austrian universities (Vienna
University of Technology, University of Vienna, University of Graz, Graz University of
Technology, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna). Mag. Enzi also
participated in various outreach activities (for example, at the Centre International
Universitaire, Vienna).
Mag. Enzi, Dr. Hörmann, and Dr. Zavarsky, also represented the AAEC at the OeAD
Hochschultagung in November 2011 at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna.
Mag. Enzi represented the AAEC at the BeST – the Job, Training and Education Fair - in
Vienna in March 2012 in collaboration with the OeAD GmbH (Austrian Agency for
International Cooperation in Education and Research).
Mag. Enzi and Molly Roza at a visit to a Gymnasium in Vienna
The AAEC regularly updates its website to promote various aspects of the Fulbright grant
program, and its website also provides in-depth information on the educational systems of
Austria and the United States, with a concentration on higher education as well as
scholarships and grants. It also has links to related sites with related information on issues
such as visas and general information on life and travel in the United States.
The AAEC secretariat also works with the Legal Affairs Section for Universities and the
Austrian National Academic Recognition Information Center (NARIC) at the Austrian
Ministry of Science and Research on an ad hoc basis.
ALUMNI ACTIVITIES
Austrian and American grantees at the end of their grant period receive a Fulbright
certificate signed by the honorary co-chairs of the AAEC plus an invitation to become a
member of the national Fulbright Alumni Association in Vienna, or in Washington, D.C.,
respectively.
Initiated and supported by the AAEC secretariat, the Austrian Fulbright Alumni Association
was founded in 1994. At the end of the program year, the association had over 400
registered members.
28
The AAEC has a prominent link from the starting page of its website to the website of the
Alumni Association, and Dr. Johnson regularly attends meetings of the Board of the
Austrian Alumni Association on an ex officio basis.
The AAEC and the Alumni Association also jointly sponsor at least one lecture each year –
traditionally at the Diplomatic Academy – followed by a reception.
