Prospects package for researchers in the USA

The Austrian government wants to attract researchers from the USA to Austria with a package of measures. To this end the Austrian Federal Ministry of Women, Science and Research (BMFWF) has set up the ‘Joint Austrian Attractivity Effort’ working group, consisting of ministries, federal provinces, higher education institutions, research institutions and funding agencies, to strengthen Austria as a research location for international researchers and students.

EURAXESS Austria's Research in Austria: Focus USA portal, which was developed by the OeAD in cooperation with the BMFWF and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), serves as a central hub.

In the new section researchers will find comprehensive information about

• career paths and funding programmes,
• practical information about living and working in Austria, and
• information about the Austrian research system.

EURAXESS – Researchers in Motion is a pan-European initiative to support the mobility and careers of researchers. The OeAD is a partner in this network together with the FFG.
