The Organisation

ÖFSE was founded in the legal form of a foundation under public law in 1967. The foundation was established with the goal in mind to offer an information, documentation and research centre for issues concerning development policy and development cooperation. The foundation's bodies are now the Supervisory, the Management and the Research Direction. An overview of ÖFSE's current organisation is provided in the organisational chart.
