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 as well as Information Society Technologies (IST) and consists of two parts:
