Working mode, goals

The ESCE influences academic discours via studies, projects and international conferences. The two branches take up topics of regional and national relevance. For the years 2009 and 2010 four and three publications respectively can be found on the website of the main office in Vienna. The 2009 publications are mainly research results. Among the 2010 publication, one stems from an international conference. Topics range from capital markets development to regional economic development in the European periphery.

Topics

We used the DGs of the EU to generate a basic list of topics. This list is going to be steadily extended. However we try to preserve a persistent list of topics.

• Regional dynamics
• Administrative reform
• Economies in the state of development and their relation to human capital formation and inter-generational exchange
