It’s time to finally look back at Vienna Intervarsity 2026!🏆

Back in April, we had 92 teams and 70 judges come together in Vienna for an amazing weekend of debating, socials and unforgettable memories.

And the very first post absolutely has to be dedicated to the people and organizations who made this tournament possible — our sponsors.

A massive thank you to our main sponsor, BEJ/JEF Österreich, whose support played a huge role in making the VIV 2026 happen. 💙

We are also incredibly grateful to our other sponsors: ÖH, Sigmund Freud Museum, MAK (Museum für angewandte Kunst), Aids Hilfe Wien and Ströck. 🫶🏻

We’re excited to share some of our favorite moments from the Vienna Novice Cup, which our club proudly hosted on March 21!💫

This year, we welcomed over 100 participants - breaking last year’s record and raising the bar once again.

None of this would have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. A huge thank you to our main sponsor, . And to , , and Gasteiner for keeping everyone refreshed throughout the tournament.

We’re also deeply grateful to our amazing team who made it all happen:
