THE HISTORY OF THE AAC
The Anglo-Austrian Circle
...was established on 2nd December 1945, seven months after the end of World War II. At the time, Graz was the administrative capital of the British zone of occupation, which encompassed the Austrian provinces of Styria and Carinthia. In a joint initiative between the British Military Government, the Province of Styria, and local intellectuals, it was decided to form a society to promote cultural and economic ties between Britain and Austria and strengthen relations between the occupying forces and the local population. Hence the birth of the Anglo-Austrian Circle. Today, more than 50 years on, the AAC still promotes ties between Britain and Austria, organising various cultural events and assisting visiting students.
