One of the key aims of the Humanitarian Congress Vienna is to increase the visibility of humanitarian work. A second aim is to raise awareness among decision makers for the relevance of humanitarian aid and cooperation, both at the national, the European and international level.
The Congress brings together experts from medical, humanitarian and international organisations, politics, media as well as a large number of students from different areas of study.
With around 400 participants and speakers from around the world in 2011, the Humanitarian Congress Vienna is now an important forum in the world of humanitarian aid. The Congress offers a unique mix of humanitarian and political keynote speeches and debates.
