Wirth Institute Director Joseph F. Patrouch recently returned from Israel where he taught the course "The Habsburg Dynasty from the Tenth to the Twentieth Century" at the Hebrew University's Center for Austrian Studies. Director Patrouch also delivered the public lecture ""The First Vienna Congress of 1515: Dynastic, Intellectual, Physical, and Meteorological Contexts". In addition to teaching and lecturing, Patrouch consulted with Professor Ruth Fine, the director of the Hebrew University's European Forum, about how to strengthen and deepen ties between the Wirth Institute and its sister Austrian Studies center in Jerusalem:
