SINCE 2012
Institute Management
Ann Safranek, Executive Director
Elizabeth Safranek-Noisternig, Managing Director
With the sisters Ann Safranek and Elizabeth Safranek-Noisternig at the helm of the International Cultural Institute at the Wiener Opernring in 2012, the two have been successfully running the traditional Viennese company for many years in the spirit of the founders.
With the arrival of the next generation, important modernization steps were taken in administration and in the back office area, but the non-profit, social educational mission is still in the foreground of the widely recognized and much appreciated association activity. See mission statement
