The journey we chose is still very long and difficult ahead, but we have the belief to keep moving forward.

A CONNECTION TO THE WORLD
AIESEC IN AUSTRIA
In 1953, as one of the first international youth organizations, AIESEC was founded in Austria. Today AIESEC is present in Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Vienna. In each of those cities, the organization is actively engaging young peoat 12 different universities. AIESEC members interact with industry, gover- ple nment, NGOs, universities, students and interns from all over the world. This allows members to be some of the most connected young citizens. AIESEC was founded in 1948 and is today active in 124 countries at more than 1700 universities with over 86.000 members, offering each year over 8.800 internships and 7.500 leadership opportunities.
AIESEC UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA AIESEC University of Vienna (Vienna UV) is part of the world‘s largest youth-run organisation. Our entity is one of the biggest ones of the AIESEC family in Austria, because we are following the rule of being progressive, innovative and open-minded. Our main focus is to give young people from our university new options and possibilities for their own development.
SOCIAL IMPACT AIESEC Vienna UV aims to provide a much wider focus on Social Impact through our teams and also gives the opportunity to gain skills in communication, strategies, and management with our corporate and non-corporate partners through our functional areas. This way we can not only organize internships within Austria for students abroad, but also give students from the University of Vienna the chance to explore a new culture and country through choosing a suitable internship from our global pool.

I Marketing and Public Relations
COMM
The Communication Teams are responsible for external communication matters. The main focus is to increase awareness of AIESEC among Viennese students, corporate partners and other stakeholder groups. Consequently, the communication teams are concerned with building up cooperations with media-partners, policing AIESEC branding while ensuring the creation and maintenance of effective communication channels in the social media. Additionally, COMM is responsible for the designs and materials (videos, booklets, flyers, posters, ect).
TOM
I Talent & Organizational Management
The task of the three teams (Talent Management, Talent Development & AIESEC University) is to help people develop on a personal and professional level by creating different learning environments that offer our members the opportunity for Conscious Learning. In order to achieve that, personal coaching meetings and trainings are organised. TOM members aim to develop an understanding for Human Resource Management (training development, organizational behavior), gain coaching and communication skills, coach people in their development and get coached in their own learning. Furthermore, TOM is responsible for the management of the LC as an organization, which includes strategic planing of the LC future as well as managing the membership base. Moreover, TOM delivers all internal communication and prepares the LC meetings.
ICX
I Incoming Global Talent
The job of the ICX Teams is to provide internships for students who wish to come to Vienna and develop their skills in one of the best firms in the country or to be engaged in one of our local social projects. Furthermore the Incoming Exchange Teams are in charge of AIESEC´s interactions with NGOs, social enterprises and trainees. The ICX department is not only establishing connections among NGOs and companies that are pursuing a sustainable approach but it also maintains the cooperation in order to provide internships to its members. The ICX department fulfills diverse tasks like supporting companies in the recruitment process and by organizing all issues incorporated with interns. Hence, AIESEC´s professional approach of handling personnel themes leads to a win-win situation among AIESEC and its partners. Additionally, ICX team members are responsible as well for the planning, organization, coordination and realization of the national project “Colors of the World: Tolerance“ (CoW) Therefore, it can be said that on the one hand, trainees have the unique opportunity to apply their acquired knowledge in the real business life. On the other hand, companies or NGOs can gain considerable advantages from AIESEC interns, who are much more than regular students, especially due to their language skills, multinational approach and their world view regarding many aspects. As a consequence companies appreciate AIESEC trainees and at the same time AIESEC
OGX
I Outgoing Exchange
The members of the Outgoing Exchange Teams are responsible for selecting, preparing and re-integrating Austrian students who want to go on Exchange and do an internship through AIESEC. The OGX Teams work closely with an international network of more than 100 countries including our 7 focus regions. Furthermore, OGX GIP is responsible for conducting pool researches and facilitating the internship matching process.
IG BOKU
I Initiative Group for BOKU
The purpose of the Initiative Group is the expansion of AIESEC to other universities and FHs. A special focus will be on the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU) because there is a big potential of students that want to get engaged with international experiences. The structure of the Initiative Group is different than the one of the other functional areas.
I Corporate Relations
CR
The responsibilities of the CR Teams (Youth to Business & CR) range from the process of creating Partnership proposals, designing new products, creating a strong, brand aligned exposure and image for AIESEC in our stakeholder groups, organizing external events like “Youth to Business“ (Y2B) or Career Days, and conducting researches about potential partners to direct costumer contact via mail, phone or personal meetings. The goal of CR is to build up new partner- and sponsor- ships for our Local Committee (LC). Our aims are sustainable long term relationships to our Partners and Sponsors, which provide value to both parties: On the one side we want to afford diverse activities of AIESEC UV without violating the values of AIESEC. On the other side we want to create and increase value to our stakeholders and build up a win-win situation.
F&L
I Finance & Law
The members of the F&L Teams are mainly responsible for supporting the Vice President of this area regarding the budget processes and building a functional structure. Furthermore, they participate in the creation of a set of objectives, including the vision, principles and way of working. F&L keeps a thorough record of all the resources and informs the Executive Board of their situation when needed. The Teams are constantly trying to keep the organization financially sustainable by applying practical and theoretical knowledge, controlling the budget and the realized budget together with the Vice President of Finance and Law, and gaining a good and solid base over the financial situation of the organization.
I University Relations
UR
The goal of University Relations is to recruit students for our four programs: Global Talent, Global Citizen and Youth Talent. Promotion is done mainly through lecture presentations, info stands, info evenings, flyering and postering. Cooperations are also made between AIESEC Vienna UV and entities within the University of Vienna, especially student organizations and institutes.
