The Austrian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (OGE 18) is focusing its endeavours on interdisciplinary research on the multinational and multicultural Habsburg Monarchy of the 18th century. The OGE 18 is organized in an interdisciplinary way: its members belong to disciplines as diverse as general history, philology, history of art, musicology, history of education etc. The society's activities contain the organization of various congresses, workshops, and web projects. In 2011 it was the host of the 13th international congress of Eighteenth Century Studies in Graz.
It also offers a wide range of publications. Together with the publishing house Dr. Winkler in Bochum (Germany) the society publishes a yearbook whose contents reflects this interdisciplinary and multicultural attitude of the OGE 18. Central themes are treated from the point of view of various disciplines mirroring various cultural contexts. Added to these are “free papers”, miscellanea, reports on the state of research in various fields, and book reviews.
Additional to its Yearbook the OGE 18 also publishes as a supplement to the yearbook the international series "The Eighteenth Century And The Habsburg Monarchy", a digital publication series "Habsburg Digital", and the series of the Österreichische Gesellschaft zur Erforschung des 18. Jahrhunderts which is edited by the president Wolfgang Schmale and distributed by the publishing house Böhlau in Vienna. All publications are peer-reviewed and multilingual (German, French, English, Italian). Every other year the Franz-Stephan-Prize is awarded by the Austrian society. This prize, commemorating the trailblazing role Francis Stephen of Lorraine played in many fields, is given to authors of outstanding thesis."
