The greatest student ball in the Vienna Hofburg
A ball night full of highlights
WU and the student union of the Vienna University of Economics and Business invite you to a special event at the Vienna Hofburg. A diversified programme is offered in the impressive premises of the former imperial palace. The WU Ball is an opportunity for students, professors, alumni and business people to network in a festive but relaxed atmosphere.
The WU Ball 2025 is organised by the Students’ Union of the Vienna University of Economics and Business (ÖH WU). The net profits are donated to the social fund of the ÖH WU and thus benefit students in social need.

Raffle: Win support a good project
A big raffle with great prizes is also a part of the WU Ball! Guests have the chance to win great prizes and at the same time make a valuable contribution. The entire net profit of the raffle is donated to the ÖH WU Social Fund and thus supports socially disadvantaged students on their academic path. Every ticket counts and makes a difference – don’t miss this chance!
