Austrian Cultural Forum. Find the one nearest you! With locations in 28 countries around the world, “the Austrian Cultural Forums are thus decentrally organized focal points of Austrian cultural work abroad (“embassies for culture”). They develop locally coordinated programs and projects with creatives and cultural institutions from the fields of culture and science in their respective host countries. Furthermore, they also act as service centers for Austrian artists, musicians, creatives, and scientists and support them in their efforts to establish contacts and networks abroad.”

While these are not 58c-specific, they are the most reliable way to receive notices regarding administrative changes at your specific diplomatic post. You can usually sign up for these on your local embassy’s homepage.
