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: Austrian Ministry of Education, the Arts and Culture Austrian Ministry for European and International Affairs Austrian Ministry of Science and Research Bureau for Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Department of State (formerly the United States Information Agency) Council for International Exchange of Scholars, Washington, D.C. Institute of International Education, New York, NY J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, Washington, D.C. U.S. Embassy, Vienna (Public Affairs Section) 1 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: Fulbright-Academy of Fine Arts Visiting Professor in Media Theory and Media Studies (2004) Fulbright-Botstiber Visiting Professors of Austrian-American Studies (2): Dietrich W.

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: Honorary Co-chairs: William C.

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. 4 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.

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. Prof. Oliver Rathkolb, Dr. Thomas Koenig, Prof. Mitchell Ash, and Dr. Lonnie Johnson at Amerika Haus 7 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. Austrian Fulbright group 2011-12 at the predeparture orientation. 8 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.” Kathrin Greisberger Austrian Fulbright Student 2011-12 Master in Global Policy Studies University of Texas at Austin 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. Dr. Carl-Erik Torgersen Austrian Fulbright Student 2011-12 LLM Harvard University “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. Program Cost Ranges for Austrian Fulbright Students: Fulbright Grants U.S. university awards Overall costs of program (including living costs) Personal funds (Eigenbedarf) 9 $ 12,320 - 25,000 $ 0 – 34,928 $ 29,064 – 88,964 $ 0 – 63,964 Austrian Fulbright students Mag. Julia Raptis, Mag. Romana Heuberger, and Mag. Aakriti Chandihok represent Austria at International Night at Columbia University. 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.” Mag. Michael Csar Austrian Fulbright Student 2011-12 MFA in Theatre Management and Producing Columbia University 10 Ruth Pollak, Fulbright Student in a brochure of the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) at Indiana University Bloomington 11 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. Tanja Bruxmeier Fulbright German Language TA Hobart and William Smith Colleges 2011-12 “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. 12 Mag. Claudia Albrecht Fulbright German Language TA University of Montana at Missoula 2011-12 “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. Mag. Manuela Faschang Fulbright German Language TA Linfield College, OR 2011-12 “Later in spring semester, I motivated several of my students, friends, and professors to join me in dancing the Austrian “Zillertaler Hochzeitsmarsch” in traditional Austrian Dirndl and Lederhosen for the international event on campus, which was a great success…” 13 FLTA 2011-12 Mag. Manuela Faschang (r.) at the Culture Festival at Linfield College, where she taught the participants a traditional Austrian dance. 14 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. Fulbright Visiting Scholars meeting at Stanford University The four Austrian scholars supported by the AAEC each received a travel grant of € 800, grant-related health and accident insurance, and a maintenance grant of $2,500 per month to pursue research and/or teach in the U.S. 15 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 involved in the collaboration...” One Austrian scholar applied for an Fulbright award under the auspices of the Fulbright-Schuman Program cofounded by the European Commission and the U.S. Government and received an award totaling $ 15,000 for a total of 4 months in the U.S. with an institutional affiliation at Brooklyn College.

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).” Paul Buehler, PhD Candidate Fulbright-Mach Award for Doctoral Candidates University of Arizona, AZ Haus- Hof- und Staatsarchiv, Vienna Cum Gratia et Privilegio: Regulation of Printed Books in the Holy Roman Empire, 1555-1648 17 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. Fulbright Combined Grantee Lauren Godfrey (4rth from the right) performed at the 60th Anniversary Celebration of the German Fulbright Commission in Berlin. “The highlight of my grant period was a meeting that I arranged with renowned Austrian author, Barbara Frischmuth.” Tessa Wegener, PhD candidate Georgetown University, DC Fulbright-Mach Award for Doctoral Candidates Encountering the Orient: 20th and 21st Century Austrian Travel Literature and Film 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. “My months as Fulbright/IFK grantee supported the advancement of my career to an extent that is impossible to overestimate.” Eric Hounshell, PhD candidate Internationales Forschungszentrum Kulturwissenschaften, Vienna University of California, Los Angeles, CA Paul F. Lazarsfeld and Modern Social Research Guided Tour in Melk Monastery and Church during the orientation for US Fulbrighters in September 2011 19 U.S. LECTURERS/RESEARCHERS “Loved every minute of it. Surpassed all my expectations. The students were bright, engaged, respectful. Each 90 minute class was powerful and invigorating.” Prof. Meg Tyler Fulbright-University Visiting Professor at the University of Innsbruck on Teaching 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. 20 Prof. June Pilcher, (holding paper) Fulbright-Freud Visiting Scholar in Vienna 2011-12 with her students. 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. Prof. Ken Long (left), Fulbright Visiting Professor at the University of Linz 2011-12, on an Intercountry Lecture visit in Sweden 21 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. 22 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). 23 Patara Nimsombun (first row, right), U.S. TA 2011-12, Bundesrealgymnasium und Bundes-Oberstufenrealgymnasium, Schwaz, Tirol, with his English students at the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Innsbruck 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 at Chiemseehof with Grudrun MoslerTörnström (center), second president of the provincial parliament of Salzburg 24 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 The Ambassador of the United States of America, William C. Eacho, III and his wife, Donna, invited incoming U.S. and returning Austrian Fulbright students and scholars to a reception at their residence on November 15, 2011. US student Anne Weber, Austrian student Elena Todeva, and Fulbright alumnus Othmar Lahodynsky (a journalist at the Austrian weekly “profil”) enjoying the reception at the ambassador‘s residence. 25 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.
