Invited to this event are researchers and research managers from Austria and the Western Balkan countries. The aims are to establish and promote networking activities (partnering), as well as to strengthen existing cooperations between researchers from Austria and the Western Balkan countries for further research activities.
The Science Day concentrates on three thematic domains:

• Social Sciences
• Economics and Business Administration
• Information Society Technologies (IST)

The morning session provides information about funding possibilities at national and European level. The keynote speech will be given by Mr. Erhard Busek, coordinator of the Stability Pact. The afternoon is reserved for networking and for developing new project ideas and future cooperations in each of the three thematic workshops.
The event is organised by the Austrian Science and Research Liaison Offices Sofia and Ljubljana, the University of Vienna, the Austrian Research Promotion Agency, WUS-Austria, SEE-ERA.NET and supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Culture.
