Lodging Assistance for Monastic Presenters

The Benedictine Abbey of Our Lady of the Scots (the so-called Schottenstift) in the heart of Old Vienna and very close to the congress venue has graciously offered several rooms free of charge to male and female monastics of any Christian church who will be attending the ICBS 2026 in Vienna as presenters and who are in financial need in order to attend the Congress. These rooms are all located within the monastery complex (Freyung 6, 1010 Vienna) and include breakfast each morning (available with the monks of the Schottenstift after morning prayer). A total of ten (10) rooms are available to monks and/or nuns within the internal monastic guesthouse; a further four (4) rooms are available to monks only within the monastic enclosure (clausura).

Any interested monastics whose paper abstracts have been accepted to the Congress should contact us at the following e-mail address:

Please be sure to include the following in your e-mail: (i) name; (ii) monastic order / church affiliation; (iii) language competency (English/German/other as applicable); (iv) title of your presentation, and (v) any other information you deem important.

If the number of interested persons exceeds the rooms available, a choice will be made amongst the applicants by Abbot Nikolaus Poch OSB and the brotherhood of the Schottenstift.
