About Vienna Club Commission
The pilot project Vienna Club Commission provides services and agency along the lines of similiar institutions in Berlin, Amsterdam or Zurich. It benefits Vienna's club culture to the fullest. We offer mentoring, workshops, know-how, a pool of experts as well as networking and intermediation between all actors of club culture.
On the 01.01.2020 the Vienna Club Commission kicked off. In the first phase, the pilot project had to find out what the organization should look like. The pilot project was extended by a few months at the beginning of 2021. The Fortschrittskoaliation für Wien has decided that the pilot project will be evaluated, repositioned and there will be an invitation to tender.
The team of the pilot project ends its work with 31th november 2021. It was funded by the Vienna Department for Culture MA 7.
The new Vienna Club Commission is funded by three business groups of the City of Vienna. These are Culture, Economy and Youth. The controlling will be taken over by the Vienna Business Agency (Wirtschaftsagentur Wien). The funding will amount to 3 million euros for five years. The Vienna Club Commission will be put out to tender and is expected to start work in 2022.
