3. Product Policy: Types of products and services for target groups and<br />

The OST represents Austria in North America, and serves as an interface for<br />
Austrian scientists currently in North America. It is a source of information on North<br />
American science, research and innovation policy for Austrian decision makers, and<br />
it represents a well-connected point of contact for transatlantic co-operation projects<br />
in science, research, and development.<br />
The work of the OST focuses on consultation and information on Austrian, European,<br />
and North American science, research, and technology policy via its online magazine<br />
bridges (http://bridges.ostina.org), on the expansion and maintenance of the OST<br />
Scientist Network (http://www.ostina.org/scientists), and on supporting and advising<br />
the initiation of new R&D co-operations e.g. via organizing visitors programs for<br />
Austrian delegations.<br />
Special focus is put on Austrian scientists, scholars, researchers, R&D managers,<br />
and S&T policy experts in North America. Currently, the interdisciplinary OST<br />
Scientist Network comprises of over 1.400 persons.<br />
Encouraged by the Office of Science & Technology (OST), the association “Austrian<br />
Scientists and Scholars in North America” (ASciNA) was formally established in 2002<br />
by Austrian scientists, and has since been managed by its members.<br />
In brief, the core of the OST’s work is substantiated in the following areas:<br />
• Expansion and maintenance of the OST Scientist Network - an interdisciplinary<br />
network of Austrian scientists, researchers, scholars, R&D managers, and S&T<br />
policy experts in North America<br />
• Consultation and information on Austrian and North American science, research,<br />
and technology policy<br />
• Active support and advice on the initiation of new R&D co-operations between<br />
Austrian and North American institutions<br />
• Information via bridges, the free online magazine, on current topics of science and<br />
technology policy in Austria, Europe, and North America<br />
• Establishing and maintaining contacts with representatives in the field of S&T<br />
policy<br />
