• Enhance understanding of the United States and U.S.-Austrian shared history and celebrate American arts, film, sports, and music, particularly among youth, including in connection with America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
• Highlight American technological and scientific innovation and economic dynamism and create opportunities for U.S.-Austria collaboration in these fields.
