Review result delay

Due to a blackout in Spain, information regarding the results of some submissions may be delayed by several days. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Scam Warning

It has come to our attention that some of our invited guests have received possible scam emails, telling them to book travel and accommodation with a company named GLOBAL TRAVEL TEAM.

Please note that the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society does not supply third parties with your names and private e-mail addresses. However, your names are listed on the symposium poster and in our call for papers, and it is fairly easy to research the necessary data (especially for machines trained to do so).

Currently, other conferences seem to have similar problems with this company and we believe that is a scam.

Please be very careful and best not answer any emails mentioning GLOBAL TRAVEL TEAM. –You may forward these scam emails to us and we will investigate the case further, if needed.

Sascha Windholz 1962 – 2024

Die Österreichische Ludwig Wittgenstein Gesellschaft trauert um ihren langjährigen Mitarbeiter Sascha Windholz, der am 16. September nach schwerer Krankheit verstorben ist.

Sascha Windholz war studierter Historiker. Über viele Jahre hinweg hat er für das Land Niederösterreich museumspädagogische Projekte durchgeführt. Seit den 90er Jahren war er in unserer Gesellschaft für PR-Arbeit, Archiv und die Gestaltung von Druckschriften zuständig. In der ÖLWG, aber auch in den Gemeinden des Feistritztales, hat er viele bleibende Spuren hinterlassen.

Besonders die „Wittgenstein-Landschaft“ und das Museum in Trattenbach waren ihm wichtige Anliegen. Unvergessen bleiben seine Inszenierungen von Jubiläen und anderen Feierlichkeiten.

Danke Sascha! Wir werden Dir ein ehrenvolles Andenken bewahren.

Christian Kanzian, President of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society
