Description
www.research-it.at
The Multidisciplinary European Research Institute Graz [MERIG], founded in 2003, aims at linking researchers
and institutions from diverse research areas in order to pursue and support common research, development
and intermediation activities specific to the European Union. The Institute is a non-profit organisation,
researchers from different scientific disciplines share their expertise which will serve as a scientific base for the
Institute´s activities. The Institute utilises the individual experiences of the members both in specific research
areas and project management. The core fields of expertise deal with social, cultural, political ecological and
economic issues, the main focus could therefore be described as follows: Cultural, economic and social issues
dealing with the enlargement of the EU; Employment policies; General and vocational training, especially the
use of ICT in the learning process; Management of national and international projects; Evaluations and
assessments.
