VICISU 2010

The second Vienna International Christian-Islamic Summer University took place again at Stift Altenburg, from 4 to 24 July 2010. The monastery, also known for its "Garden of the Religions", combined a unique atmosphere with the conveniences of a modern conference hotel.

The Summer University brought together 43 students from universities in Christian and Muslim countries.The three week programme consisted of nine courses with afternoon workshops and evening talks. The professors came from the University of Vienna and other universities in European and non-European states.

In addition to the academic programme, there were excursions to Vienna and the country side, evening events as well as sports and cultural activities.
