Study visit to the United Nations in Vienna

The UN Family in Vienna The Vienna International Centre (VIC) hosts the International Atomic Energy Agency, UN Office of Drugs and Crime, UN International Development Organisation, United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, International Narcotic Control Board and the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation.

Programme Summary We will meet senior staff of several of these UN agencies and also visit independent institutions and meet informed diplomats. We hope to visit the UK Mission to the UN in Vienna which also represents the UK at meetings of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Separately, we will learn about the work of the OSCE. There will also be time to explore the historic city of Vienna, from its magnificent Schönbrunn Palace to its museums, concert halls and, in its historic centre, its famous cafes.

Making it easy To offer maximum flexibility, tour party members will travel independently to Vienna. Alternative airports nearby are in Bratislava in Slovakia and Linz, Austria, both with good bus links to Vienna.

We will meet up in our chosen city centre hotel in the evening of Sunday 14 April. We will travel by metro and tram to the VIC and other venues in this compact city. Taxis for disabled tour members can be arranged.
