Our purpose is twofold: to facilitate research and contact possibilities in Oxford and beyond; to
stimulate intellectual debate and dialogue within this diverse field through a range of social, cultural and academic
initiatives.
Past events include the Festival of Austrian Culture in Oxford, Festspiele 2001. A
devoted sub-site,
Cultural Analysis, offers a platform for debate, featuring themed collections of
links and precis of the main themes and events of the Festival. A major international
graduate conference in Central European
Studies was held with our support in May 2002 at the European Studies Centre at St.
Antony's College, Oxford.
Information on conference proceedings and papers are available on these pages.
Ongoing projects include the
Archival Guidebook and our expanding Online Review, COMPASS. Listings of current events
are given here.
OACES seeks to establish reciprocal relationships of publicity, sponsorship, and general channels of communication with
organisations representing similar interests. Established links include the
Austrian Cultural Forum in London, the Literaturhaus in Vienna, the Center for Austrian Studies in Minnesota and the
Centre for Austrian Studies at Edinburgh and Aberdeen Universities.
