On 6 December 2019, the Diplomatische Akademie Wien's alumni association, ClubDA, organised its 11th St Nicholas Party & Meet and Greet to strengthen the ties between alumni and current students, to get to know each other and simply have a good time. This year more than 60 alumni and students came to The Tipsy Weasel to celebrate.

It has been a rare and special treat that 20 alumni and friends of the Diplomatische Akademie Wien experienced on 23 November 2019: Wendelin Eberle, whose company Rieger Orgelbau is currently renovating Austria's largest pipe organ, gave our group exclusive insights into his work at Vienna's Stephansdom.

In the second installment of ClubDA Vienna Chapter’s "Back to School ..." events, both alumni and current students enjoyed a lecture by the DA‘s chair of international economics, Professor Werner Neudeck, on "The economics of BREXIT". After a lively discussion, the students' Wine Society organised a Whiskey tasting.

After three years and many requests, ClubDA organised its 4th grape harvest, this time at Poysdorf, Lower Austria. The group enjoyed great weather, scenic views and a pleasant dinner after a rich harvest. ClubDA thanks Weingut Hirtl for their warm hospitality.

Ten years ago, about 30 alumni met at Schweizerhaus to inaugurate ClubDA's Vienna Chapter. In 2019, alumni from the first all the way to the most recent Diploma Programme and many more graduates from the 55 years in between enjoyed a memorable 11th Vienna Summer Meeting at the Viennese Prater.

Every year, it is one of the highlights of the Diplomatische Akademie Wien – Vienna School of International Studies' academic year: the International Alumni Meeting. For the 21st time, we had the pleasure of welcoming alumni and friends – more than 280 to be exact – back at the Academy on the occasion of the annual alumni homecoming weekend. On Friday, 28 June 2019 ClubDA's General Assembly was followed by the traditional DA Sommerfest. On Saturday, 29 June a group of more than 20 alumni visited the Theresianische Militärakademie (Military Academy) as well as the Lower Austrian State Exhibition at Wiener Neustadt.

Since 2010, the DA's Alumni Association, ClubDA, has been organising annual hiking or biking trips to scenic regions from Passau to Lake Neusiedl. This year, we hiked through the easternmost part of the Alps from Hochneukirchen, Lower Austria via Burgenland to Kőszeg, Hungary.

On 9 May 2019, ClubDA’s Vienna Chapter joined the Diplomatic Academy Students Initiative to organise their first International Relations Pub Quiz at the DA’s bar, better known as The Tipsy Weasel. We congratulate the winners and thank all involved for their initiative and participation to make this a very memorable event.

A new initiative by ClubDA's Vienna Chapter, "Back to School ..." was a great opportunity for alumni to re-connect with one of the DA's chairs, Professor Tom Row. After a lecture on "The State System in the Age of Trump", the students' Wine Society organised a tasting of a selection of Italian wines.

On 22 February 2019, we were happy to bring together alumni, students and friends of the DA for the eighth time for curling (Eisstockschießen) and ice skating in front of Vienna's city hall. ClubDA's Vienna Chapter thanks stadt wien marketing gmbh for their support and for making this event possible.

While there were some interesting FIS Alpine World Cup races the same weekend, the real action took place on Stuhleck, Styria. For the 17th time, the DA organised its Ski and Snowboard Championships in cooperation with the Austrian Foreign Ministry. We congratulate our 2019 DA Champions Angeladora Novi Chavarria and Barnabas Vegh as well as all participants and thank them for a memorable event.
