The institute has been founded in 1958 and conducts as an extra-university scientific institution research,
documentation and knowledge transfer about post-Communist eastern Europe in the humanities and social
sciences. Its core competencies rest in research in spatial disparities from the topical and historical point of
view, in political-national, regional and other cultural identities as well as in neighbourhood and international
relations also from the topical and historical point of view. Among the institute´s long-term and larger projects
and publications is the Atlas of Eastern and Southeastern Europe, in parts also available on the internet
(www.aos.ac.at). On behalf of the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs it provides for the elaboration and
updating of the internet portal of the Danube Co-operation Process (www.danubecooperation.org). As regards
service and knowledge transfer, AIESES offers a database of research on eastern Europe.
