Okto TV
In 2006, the Confucius Institute was founded at the University of Vienna. It started with language courses but soon became known as a cultural mediator between China and Austria. In September, the institute celebrated its 20th anniversary on the campus of the University of Vienna. In China, we visited the Austrian Film Festival. One of the six films presented was "Veni Vidi Vici," which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024. This year, three Chinese astronauts launched to the space station "Tiangong." This was a significant step in Chinese space exploration for their planned moon landing in 2030. On this occasion, a piece of moon rock was unveiled at the UN City in Vienna.

The Confucius Institute at the University of Vienna, China Media Group, and Okto report on culture, society, and interesting facts about China and Austria. In this way, we build bridges between people who live over 7,000 kilometers apart. Events with knowledge from both countries promote mutual understanding. Therefore, we report on philosophical discussions, lectures, and scientific symposia of the Confucius Institute at the University of Vienna.
