Organization

The Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) was founded in 1963 on the initiative of two prominent social scientists: Paul F. Lazarsfeld and Oskar Morgenstern and is today structured as an association under Austrian law. Its primary decision-making body is the Board of Trustees. The Scientific Advisory Board and Stakeholder Committee provide additional guidance.

The Institute operates on a two-tier system, led by Scientific Director Prof. Dr. Holger Bonin and Secretary General Mag.(FH) Julia Studencki.
