Austrian Cultural Forum

An Austrian Cultural Forum is an agency of the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, responsible for cultural and scientific dialogue with artists and scientists of each host country. A cultural forum focuses on the specific needs of local users and partners, and works independently on different contents. The international network currently consists of 30 cultural forums.

Cultural forums were originally established as either a "cultural institute" or a "cultural department of an Austrian embassy". In March 2001, both were renamed as "cultural forum".
