The VAÖ, Verband der Akademikerinnen Österreichs (Austrian Federation of University Women), is above party and confessional lines. It was founded in 1922 in order to support women studying at university. The federation’s members have various academic backgrounds such as science, economy, management, media, education and politics.

VAÖ is proud to support women in academics, to initiate and host diverse scientific and functional activities, and to endorse and promote social programs and institutions. The federation offers a nationwide and international network and continues to support aspiring young female academics as one of its most important goals.

The federation is organised as one nationwide umbrella organisation with six regional sub-divisions. All entities work together as the umbrella organisation, but also individually on a regional level.

The Austrian Federation of University Women is led by a board of devoted women who aim at creating and maintaining a useful network for women in academics. Besides the national board, each sub-division has its own board.

- Grants for young academics
