Beschreibung
The Centers for Austrian Studies, founded by the Austrian Ministry of
Science and Research since the 1970s play an important role for the
Austrian Scientific Community. Their tasks are to promote Austrian and
Central European Studies in their host nations and to give Austrian
students the possibility to conduct research aboard and to get in touch
with local colleagues. This anthology contains a description of the
Institution’s history and current status as well as the working papers of
their present PhD students. Their research covers a period from the 17th
to the middle of the 20th century.
