This post is part of the Public Sources 2024 project of SA WEST. It contains a collection of reliable links to ministries, government institutions, and local media sources in Austria.
All links were checked in October and November 2024. In addition to providing links to local news websites, we also share their social media profiles and related groups in messaging platforms. This gives you a comprehensive toolset to follow and gather data on current events using your preferred methods.
This collection is made to help intelligence professionals and researchers find important resources related to Austria. While we do not claim to have every possible link, we hope this collection serves as a useful starting point for your project.
To help you better understand the regional context, we provide a list of projects in Austria, if available, involving the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the Asian Development Bank.
If you’re looking for resources on other countries, please check out the additional pages on the SA WEST website.
You might be surprised by the image featured in the headline of our publication about public sources in Austria, so it’s important to clarify what it represents. These images are derived from Google searches for terms like “leader,” “prime minister,” and “head of government of Austria.” As you can see, the search results include leaders from other countries that actively engage with Austria. Furthermore, in some cases—such as the section about Madagascar—fictional characters associated with that country even appear. Ultimately, this creates a composite visual representation of the region, which itself serves as an intriguing subject for further analysis.
