The House of the EU
Wipplingerstraße 35, 1010 Vienna
This year’s round of the Viennese Literature Night will take place on the premises of the European House in Vienna (Wipplingerstrasse 35, 1010, Vienna). This building has been inaugurated on 16/9/2009 and despite the fact that it has only been opened for a relatively short period of time people of all generations find a way to a common dialogue in its quarters. Employees of the House of the European Union are trying to ‘build bridges’ between the European Commission, people and institutions and aim to strengthen the sense of European solidarity. It is not only the Austrian public which is invited to discussions, lectures and open days. Cooperation of the European House in Vienna will be much appreciated during this year’s Literature Night. Not only the lecture room will be provided but also supplement small refreshment for its visitors.
