It is with great pleasure that we welcome Professor Andreas Altmann as a member of the Foundation Board of the European Centre of Austrian Economics in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. Professor Altmann is ideally suited to strengthen and further the mission of the ECAEF.

The ECAEF stands for individual freedom, self-responsibility, private property, free markets, and limited government. The Foundation adheres to the intellectual tradition of the Austrian School of Economics.

Andreas Altmann was born in 1963 in Austria. He studied Business Administration and Economics at the Universities of Linz and Innsbruck, and International Relations at the Johns Hopkins University SAIS Bologna Center.

He received his doctoral degree in Business and Economics from the University of Innsbruck in 1993 and began his academic career as a postdoctoral researcher, first at the Department of Public Finance and later at the Department of Strategic Management at the University of Innsbruck.

There, he was involved in building a new institution from scratch, now known as MCI | The Entrepreneurial School®, under the umbrella of the University of Innsbruck, the region, its capital city, and the regional chambers of industry, commerce, and labour.

He became the founding Managing Director and later also Rector and successfully led MCI to become an internationally recognized autonomous university institution with more than 3,500 students, 1,000 full-time, adjunct, and part-time faculty members, 300 partner universities, and numerous successful alumni from around the world.
