The Austrian Association of Literary and Scientific Translators (IG Übersetzerinnen Übersetzer – IGÜ) represents the interests of literary and scientific translators in Austria. Its most important objective is to improve the legal, social and economic environment for translators. Increased awareness and appreciation of the work of literary translators are also central issues. Our office is located in the Literaturhaus Vienna. Together with the Documentation Center for Modern Austrian Literature and the Association of Authors, we have been part of the Literaturhaus since its foundation in 1991.
