Organization

The IHS is structured as an association under Austrian law. Its primary decision-making body is the Board of Trustees. The Scientific Advisory Board and Stakeholder Committee provide additional guidance.

The Institute operates on a two-tier system, led by Scientific Director Prof. Dr. Holger Bonin and General Manager Mag.(FH) Julia Studencki.

Research Groups form the backbone of the Institute's scientific work, with many projects carried out by teams across different units. The research units are supported by both administrative and scientific services.
