Projects and grants

A programme to promote bilateral collaboration in science and education between Czechia and Austria. This is a joint programme run by the Ministries of Education of the two countries.
The focus of funding is on activities that address topics of bilateral and regional interest for current developments and/or future development scenarios of both states and/or their historical roots.
In 1992, Austria and Czechoslovakia signed a bilateral agreement which launched the programme AKTION. Since 1993, after the establishment of the independent Czech Republic, the AKTION Austria - Czech Republic has contributed to the development and strengthening of scientific and pedagogical cooperation between universities and other higher education institutions.
In July 2023, both countries signed a new work programme for the 7th phase (2024-2028).

Types of supported activities

  • Projects aimed at long-term cooperation
  • Joint scientific events for students, such as seminars or field trips
  • Joint bilateral scientific events such as symposia, expert meetings and workshops
  • Preparatory phase for programmes that award double degrees
  • Research trips to obtain scientific data

  • Summer colleges, i.e. summer language courses in Czech or German
  • Specialised summer schools based on different scientific disciplines
