The Vienna Club Commission started its work on 1st January 2020. The goal was to implement several projects within one year. Therefore, several surveys were conducted. They should provide evidence of what the scene, the city, other service agencies, interest groups, etc. expect from a Vienna Club Commission and how it should be set up in a way that it is useful to all stakeholders.
Survey of the club scene's needs ("Bedarfserhebung"): A survey of needs clarified which services are most important for the scene and where the focus should be set.

Survey of other service agencies in the event sector: 63 interviews with municipal departments, service agencies and interest groups (Betriebsanlagenservice der WKO Wien, Gruppe Sofortmaßnahmen, Magistratische Bezirksämter, MA 7, MA 18, MA 36, MA 42, MA 48, Sucht- und Drogenkoordination der Stadt Wien, Wirtschaftsagentur Wien, Wirtschaftskammer, WienTourismus, Vienna Film Commission, etc.) were used to write a report. This report had the goal to avoid duplication and to outline possible cooperations for the Vienna Club Commission.
