The current leadership (as of June 29, 2016) consists of Raimund Kovacevic (President, Vienna University of Technology) and Ronald Hochreiter (Vice-President, Vienna University of Economics and Business) along with (in alphabetical order) Klaus Altendorfer (University of Applies Sciences Upper Austria), Doris Behrens (Aneurin Bevan University Health Board), Karl Dörner (University of Vienna), Günther Füllerer (STRABAG AG), Tina Wakolbinger (Vienna University of Economics and Business) and Angelika Wiegele (Alpen-Adria Universität Klagenfurt).
