The University of California, Berkeley
 The IES at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Austrian Marshall Fund have signed an agreement to create an Austria-Berkeley Program to promote scholarly collaboration between faculty and graduate students at the University of California, Berkeley; Vienna University; and the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies, with the goal of advancing research on both sides of the Atlantic on comparative U.S.-EU economic issues.

The Austria-Berkeley Program, administered by Berkeley’s Barry Eichengreen through IES, Dieter Stiefel of the Vienna University and Michael Landesmann of the Vienna Institute for Economic research, will center on three activities: a program of short-term visits, a collaborative research competition, and an annual research conference. The Program will run for three years beginning January 1, 2004.

It will be funded by a generous grant from the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation, while the Institute of European Studies will provide supplementary funding to help support the three core activities of the Program. These are (1) short term visits for faculty and advanced graduate students of one to three months duration, (2) annual research conferences, two to be held in Berkeley, and a final one to be held in Vienna, (3) a collaborative research program based on competitive applications and designed to promote joint work in the fields to which the program addresses itself.
