About

The Wirth Alumni Network recognizes the need for the development of an active and responsive networking organization among its Central European scholars. The goals and mandate of the network will be to facilitate research cooperation and exchange among its scholars, and to establish itself as the Central European hub for academic and scholarly activities between Canada and Central Europe.

The Wirth Institute for Austrian and Central European Studies is one of the leading centers for Central European Studies in North America, and the only such institution in Canada. Our mandate is to sponsor and encourage scholarship on Central European subjects across the broad range of disciplines within the University of Alberta Faculty of Arts and to raise the profile of Central Europe and Central European Studies in Canada.
