The Platform 

The discussion forum is established as a non-profit organisation, with neither income nor profit as its goal. Funding from sponsors and membership fees is used to finance the infrastructure, the dissemination of ideas, the establishment and maintenance of the website and discussion forums, travel expenses, scholarships, junior fellowships etc. The interaction with other organisations – in particular institutions at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, partner universities, the Austrian Society for European Politics (ÖGFE), the Embassy of the European Commission in Vienna and the Austrian Embassy in Brussels are planned.

The platform does not compete for commissioned studies and is open for national and international cooperation
