The Afro-Asian Institute is an open house that has offered a lot since the AAI meeting center opened in 1964: living space for young people from Africa, Asia and Latin America who come to study in Styria, socio-political and cultural impulses from different countries and a contact point for everyone who is interested in the world. The communication and meeting center acts as an interface to Austrian students, institutions and organizations as well as a service point and houses a dormitory for 50 students from all over the world.
