GET TOGETHER IN VIENNA

As in 2012, 2014 and 2016 the “Friends of the Beug Foundation” (especially friends and colleagues of Hartmut Beug) meet at the “Alte AKH” in Vienna. The aims of the foundation and the recent awardees are presented and new activities are discussed.

The goal of this event is to keep the ties among the current “Friends of the Beug Foundation” and jointly spread the word of the foundation to attract further friends and supporters.

The foundation emphasizes their gratefulness for receiving further financial support and asks for continued donations.
