The Western Balkan Region – in the broader sense South Eastern Europe – is an important European region for Austria not only commercially but also due to existing scientific collaboration and related issues. Both the historical and social relations, and the massive investments of Austrian companies, are deepening and intensifying co-operation in the field of science and research.

The Westbalkan Science Day concentrates on three thematic domains:
*Social Sciences
*Economics and Business Administration
*Information Society Technologies (IST)

The morning session provides information about Austrian and European funding opportunities, i.e.:
· Austrian Science and Research Liaison Offices (ASOs)
· Southeast European Era-Net (SEE-ERA.NET)
· Cooperation in Innovation and Research with Central and Eastern Europe (CIR-CE)
· TEMPUS
· CEEPUS
· 7th Framework Programme for RTD

The afternoon is reserved for networking, elabortion of new project ideas and discussion of future cooperation in the thematic workshops.

Practical aims are to establish and promote networking activities (partnering), as well as to strengthen existing co-operations between researchers from Austria and the Western Balkan countries for further research activities.
