Our independent research offers facts in decision-making processes and in public debate. Through educational work for school teachers, training of members of the executive forces and the judiciary, through advocacy work for and monitoring of state institutions, our work has a sustainable and tangible effect for all parties concerned. This approach makes us unique.
BIM's 25th anniversary
The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights (BIM) looks back on its achievements over the last 25 years of human rights research in Vienna with some pride. When the institute was founded in the context of the preparations for the first World Conference on Human Rights in 1992, it was one of only a few of its kind in Europe. Today, the BIM is part of a community of university and extra-university institutions focusing on human rights research.
