International brunch: Understanding the pension system in Austria

Understanding the Austrian pension system can be challenging especially as an international building your life across borders. During this brunch session, we’ll explore how the pension system works in Austria, what internationals should know early on, and how to make informed decisions about long-term financial security while living and working here.

This session is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and practical orientation so you can better plan your future in Austria.

Who is this brunch for?

Once a month, we gather to enjoy good food and beverages, pleasant conversations and networking. Here you will be able to:

• meet new people and build meaningful connection
• exchange tips, contacts, and ideas for navigating life in Austria
• feel understood, supported, and part of a growing international community

Whether you’re new to Vienna or have been here for a while, this brunch is a gentle reminder that you’re not alone on this journey. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your story and enjoy a morning filled with connection, comfort, and belonging.

How do we roll?

We keep the group small (10-15 people) to ensure conversations remain cozy and meaningful.

The format includes:

• a short welcome round
• an interactive input from our guest speaker
• space for questions and discussion
• informal networking and exchange

Along the way, we share experiences, perspectives, and practical insights that support each other’s integration journeys.

Mutual respect is essential to us.
This is a safe and inclusive space where everyone is welcome. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated.

Good to know:

You can join us for a coffee, tea, lemonade, or enjoy breakfast or lunch at the location where our brunch takes place. You simply pay for your own consumption. No big surprises here.

Let’s build community, one brunch at a time. 🥐✨:)

Looking forward to seeing you there!
