The Department of Theology and History of the Eastern Churches deals in research and teaching with:
- Orthodox Churches
- Eastern Catholic Churches
- Oriental Orthodox Churches
- Patrology
It inscribes itself in a continuous research tradition at the University of Vienna (Eastern Church Law at the Faculty of Law since 1867, Eastern Church Studies and Patristics at the Faculty of Catholic Theology since 1975).
Against the background of the strong presence of Eastern Churches in Austria (Orthodoxy in second place among churches and religious communities) and the importance of the location for ecumenism, the department forms an important European interface of teaching and research in the field of Eastern Church Studies.
With regard to European transformation and identity processes, the historical dimension of the subject is of particular importance.
