Organization for International Economic Relations
Building Bridges and Leading the Way

Looking back on six decades of highly varied activities, always building bridges and leading the way: in 2008, the OIER – the Organization for International Economic Relations – celebrated its 60th anniversary.

The OIER is proud of its sixty-year history of successful international networking as a competent partner and a pioneer in the development and promotion of global economic processes. For 35 years, the organization has held consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Founded in Vienna in 1947 by a group of distinguished personalities from different countries, all of them deeply committed to the idea of European integration, the organization – originally called Danube European Institute – has evolved to become a platform for the establishment and extension of economic and trade relations crossing all borders.

Extending its scope far beyond its original objective the OIER has become a worldwide forum for the discussion of economic, scientific and political issues. Its main activities are aimed at identifying global trends and important future-oriented issues relating to sustainability, innovation, communication and mobility.

Over the years, the OIER has been recognized on frequent occasions for its achievements in the field of international cooperation. The organization has always advocated the cause of European integration and has contributed substantially to the historic transformation of the European political landscape. Always prepared to take up new challenges, the OIER will continue to play an innovative and constructive role in the dynamic process of far-reaching global economic, technological and social change in our time.
