Red Cross Austria / Forschungsinstitut des Rotes Kreuz

The Austrian National Red Cross Society acts on national and international levels, coordinates all relevant activities, and controls foreign, national and supranational operations.

“To improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity.” This is the mission statement of the 188 Red Cross and Red Crescent societies around the world. The 200 million workers in this worldwide aid network put this philosophy into practice day after day – and do so in accordance with the seven Red Cross principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, volunteerism, unity, universality.
