The Vienna Institute for Advanced Studies and Scientific Research ( IHS ) is one of the most renowned social and economic research institutes in Austria.
The IHS has an annual turnover of 11.5 million euros (as of 2020) and sees itself as an economic and social science research center that develops questions in dialogue with politics and science and provides both scientific and politically relevant contributions.
history
It was founded in 1963 by two well-known Austrians in exile, the sociologist Paul F. Lazarsfeld and the economist Oskar Morgenstern . Financial support came from the Ford Foundation , the Austrian Ministry of Education and the City of Vienna . Until 1968 Freda Meissner-Blau worked under the then director Ernst Florian Winter as general secretary at the IHS. In 2016, the Austrian economist Martin Kocher was appointed director.
Structure of the institute
Research at the IHS is represented by ten research groups (as of 2020):
- Companies, industries, regions
- European Governance and Public Finance
- Health Economics and Health Policy
- Higher Education Research
- Labor market and social policy
- in_Equality and Education
- Insight Austria

Furthermore, the IHS PhD program supports young scientists in obtaining a doctorate. The institute cooperates with various doctoral programs and international training networks, such as the Vienna Graduate School of Economics or the Vienna Graduate School of Finance. The IHS is known to the general public for its economic forecasts, which are presented quarterly together with the WIFO forecasts and which have the greatest response in the Austrian media.
Location
Since the summer of 2015, the office has been at Josefstädter Straße 39, Palais Strozzi , Vienna 8th . The non-university research institute was located in Stumpergasse, Vienna 6 , for more than 50 years .
Management and organs
The IHS is organized as an association and is headed by a (scientific) director (from the appointment of a new head in 2016, additionally supported by a general secretary). The board of trustees assumes the function of a supervisory board, and a scientific advisory board has been set up.
