Human Rights Master - University of Vienna

Network. Ask questions. Gain new perspectives.

Sometimes the best conversations happen quite naturally, over a cup of coffee. That’s exactly what we’d like to invite you to do: Get to know the Postgraduate Center, its students, and faculty; ask your questions; and strike up a conversation.

“Coffee on Campus” focuses on personal exchange, fresh ideas, and exciting encounters open, casual, and in a relaxed atmosphere. - Coffee am Campus

When: Saturday, June 13, 2026, 8:30 until 12:00.
Where: University of Vienna campus, in front of Entrance 1.5.4*

*In case of bad weather, the Espressomobil will be located in the central passageway leading from Spitalgasse to Courtyard 1 (right next to Entrance 1.5.3)

Hope to see you there.
