The Vienna International Christian-Islamic Summer University of 2014 lasted from 3 to 23 August and took place again at Stift Altenburg.

The 40 participating students came from 15 different countries, including Afghanistan, Egypt, Germany, Indonesia, Iran, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Switzerland, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Austria.

As in the years before, evenings were reserved for round tables and discussions. Prof. Andreas Bsteh, the founder of the Summer University, recounted the beginnings of the interreligious dialogue initiatives in Austria. Father Michael, the Prior of the monastery, gave a guided tour through the Abbey of Altenburg and the "Garden of the Religions". Marcus Kienl from the Austrian Foreign Ministry spoke about the "Austrian Dialogue Forum Islam" and Dr. Michael Lugger from the Islamic Religious Community in Austria presented the Austrian Islam Law of 1912 and current reform initiatives. On 13 August, Abbot Thomas Renner and the community of the Abbey of Altenburg invited all the participants as well as prominent guests from Vienna and Lower Austria to a celebratory summer reception.

The extracurricular programme of VICISU 2014 was complemented by an excursion to the Abbey of Melk and a boat trip on the Danube, a visit to the castle of Rosenburg as well as a number of social events and sporting activities. Two highlights were the multicultural talent show, during which the participants performed dances and songs from their home countries, and the intercultural dinner, for which the students cooked traditional meals.

The Summer University concluded in Vienna, where the students received a certificate of participation by Vice-Rector Prof. Faßmann of the University of Vienna. In addition, the participants took a tour around the city, including the main building of the University of Vienna and the United Nations and were invited to a reception in the Vienna City Hall and a farewell party in a Viennese restaurant.
