The Slovenian Culture and Information Centre in Austria (SKICA) was established in Vienna in 2011. The centre intends to integrate Slovene creativity in the field of arts and culture as well as science and research into a cultural milieu of the city of Vienna and broader. SKICA aims to become a model for the future network of Slovene culture and information centres abroad.

SKICA office is located at the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Vienna.


Mission and objectives

The Slovenian Culture and Information Centre in Vienna was established by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Culture. Its purpose is to create a synergy among the Slovene institutions and organisations and the Austrian cultural institutions, producers and venues, fostering cooperative efforts and facilitating communication. Thus SKICA should become a central forum and a representative of Slovene cultural, education, and science activities in Austria as well as a catalyst of new international projects.


Programme

SKICA endeavours to promote cultural programme while focusing on building a multidisciplinary approach from all study fields and art disciplines. SKICA program is outlined annually, it consists of a few complex projects that are developed in close cooperation with Slovene cultural organisations and Austrian partners, and a number of smaller promotional support projects. SKICA supports also artist-in-residence programme in Vienna organised by Slovene Ministry of Culture.
