CROSSLINK_CONNECT_COMPREHEND Annual Report 2010 10th ANNIVERSARY OF EURASIA-PACIFIC UNINET Eurasia-Pacific Uninet is a network which aims at estab lishing contacts and scientific partner- ships between Austrian universities, universities of applied sciences, other research institu- tions and member institutions in East Asia, Central Asia, South Asia and the Pacific region. With its member institutions, the network promotes multilateral scientific cooperation, joint research projects, conferences, faculty and student exchange. Eurasia-Pacific Uninet supports the concept of Austrian higher education policy with its focus on excellence. Preface the eurasia-pacific uninet is a successful project and since its beginning in the year 2000 it has become an important factor in establishing contacts with univer- . Hilzensauer sities and higher education and research institutions l in east Asia, Central Asia, South Asia as well as in the pacific Region.t his fast growing network is the largest © BMWF/ university network linking Austria and Asia and serves as a platform of international exchange in the fields of science and research successfully linking Austria with this economically important Asian region. the annual report 2010 provides an excellent overview of the dif- ferent projects in several fields and there can be no doubt that the eurasia-pacificu ninet has also become an important instrument for the internationalisation of higher education and research cooperation. It seems important to look forward and to ensure eur- asia-pacific uninet’s outstanding performance for the years to come. Some significant changes have already taken place or are in progress by now. the network’s administration is already strategically positioned at the Austrian agency for international mobility and co- operation in education and research (oeAD), which is a strong partner for further improvement of the opera- tional structure. At the same time the eurasia-pacific uninet will carry on as a strong and autonomous net- Prof. Dr. Karlheinz Töchterle work. In the future the network should focus even more Austrian Federal Minister of Science and Research on co-financed cooperation among its members. this and all other measures of consolidation will be hard work but will also contribute to an even better perform- ance of this unique network. As Federal Minister for Science and Research I would like to congratulate the president of the network for having set up the eurasia-pacificu ninet over the past years and I would like to thank the president and all the partners for their strong commitment in promoting and support- ing cooperation in science and research and in con- tributing to bi-regional friendship and understanding!
