The annual conference 2025 of the Austrian Society for Exile Studies (öge) is dedicated to the experiences of refugees under the title Love, Sexuality and Intimacy in Exile. It looks at these topics from a historical, current and interdisciplinary perspective and explores emotional, romantic and physical experiences. According to historian Ute Frevert, feelings ultimately motivate action and should therefore be considered as a central category of analysis when we investigate agency in exile.

This conference aims to explore the history of students through their regional, religious, national and international organisations in the second half of the twentieth century. The aim is to examine the student agency through the analysis of their social profile, the forms of material or symbolic compensation for their commitment, and the circulation of knowledge about the economic and social situation of the students.
