The
two cornerstones of the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute are the publicly accessible
archives and libraries that are to be consolidated on its premises. The
impetus and drive of this centre is research.
With
the help of fellowships, guest researchers of international standing are
to be attracted to Vienna and brought together with the upcoming generation
of scientists. In addition, long-term research projects shall be carried
out.
The
quality of research shall be guaranteed by an International Scientific
Advisory Board with high-ranking members.
The members of the preliminary advisory board alone – the International
Steering Committee – includes the Austrian member Bertrand Perz
as well as distinguished international experts from the field of science
such as Omer
Bartov, Micha Brumlik and Dan Diner.
