Pictured ahead of the Irish-Austrian Conference at MIC Limerick were Christiane Schönfeld, MRIA; Dr Helmut Grugger; Her Excellency Melitta Schubert, Austrian Ambassador to Ireland; and Prof Niamh Hourigan, Vice-President of Academic Affairs at MIC. Taking place on the 60th anniversary of the Austrian Embassy in Dublin, the conference brings together an international group of researchers to explore the rich and nuanced cultural, literary, philosophical, and intellectual connections between Ireland and Austria from the late 19th century to today.
