At the very beginning of this period, we did not exactly have it easy. When just before Christmas in 2002 I took over responsibility for the administration and future development of our city, Bratislava was a quarter of a billion in debt, which was due to be settled in the sum- mer of 2003, but with only one quarter of this amount available to cover it. In such an atmosphere it was not exactly the best of times to think about development constructions.

Due to this as well, Bratislava has nearly the same historical foundation as several other major cities of Europe. Today, it is a CITY OF BRATISLAVA : INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS : INTERNATIONAL CITY OF BRATISLAVA member of a mature family of 27 metropolises of the new, expanded Europe and, jointly with its neig- hbours, contributes to creating a metropolitan Euroregion which has all the prerequisites to become one of the most dynamic areas of European cooperation and development within the next 15 to 20 years.

Reader – Ports and Inland Vessels
READER – PORTS AND INLAND VESSELS Extract of relevant passages from the „Manual of Danube Navigation”, via donau (2019) and of relevant passages from the “Annual Report of Danube Navigation”, viadonau (2018). Pictures: viadonau in Manual on Danube Navigation (2019), p. 79, 106 86 System elements of Danube navigation: Ports and terminals Terminology Ports are facilities for the transhipment of goods that have at least one port basin. Transhipment points without a port basin are known as transhipment sites. Source: viadonau Source: Comparison of ports and transhipment sites A port has many advantages compared to a transhipment site: Firstly it has longer quay walls and can therefore offer more possibilities for transhipment and logi- stics. Certain cargo groups are only allowed to be transhipped in a port basin in accordance with national laws. Secondly the port provides an important protective function: During flood water, ice formation or other extreme weather events ships can stay safe in the port. A terminal is a facility of limited spatial extension for the transhipment, storage and logistics of a specific type of cargo (e.g. container terminals or high & heavy termi- nals). A port or a transhipment site may dispose of one or more terminals. Ports as logistics service providers Functions and performance of a port Ports connect the transport modes of road, rail and waterway and are important service providers in the fields of transhipment, storage and logistics. In addition to their basic functions of transhipment and storage of goods, they also often perform a variety of value-added logistics services to customers, such as packaging, container stuffing and stripping, sanitation and quality checks.

Working for the IAEA
Working for the IAEA A Guide for US Citizens 2018 Edition Working for the IAEA A Guide for US Citizens 2018 Edition From the Editors This Guidebook is intended to provide practical information for United States citizens embarking on or considering an assignment at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria. Since its first appearance in 1989, the Guidebook has been revised frequently to reflect changes occurring at the IAEA, within the United States Support Program to IAEA Safeguards (USSP), and in Vienna. The 2018 Edition reflects these changes at the time of publication. Nevertheless, IAEA salaries, allowances, and other benefits change, as do telephone numbers, addresses, and websites. Currency exchange rates, prices, and store hours in Vienna inevitably fluctuate. We regret any inconvenience this may cause our readers. The 2018 Edition of the Guidebook was prepared by the International Safeguards Project Office (ISPO) under the auspices of the USSP and was published by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).

Simulation of Co-Operative Strategies in the Cross-Border Region Vienna
Simulation of co-operative strategies in the cross-border region Vienna – Bratislava 46th Congress of the European Regional Science Association, 30/08 – 03/09/2006, Volos, Greece Paul Pfaffenbichler, Günter Emberger, Nikolaus Ibesich Vienna University of Technology - Institute for Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering Gußhausstraße 30/231 - 1040 Vienna (Austria) [email protected] Abstract: The two capitals Vienna (Austria) and Bratislava (Slovakia) form a unique region. They have been separated by the Iron Curtain for decades. The Slovak accession to the EU in 2004 ended the enforced isolation and created a bi-polar region populated by about 3 million inhabitants (1.6 million of them in Vienna and 400,000 in the city of Bratislava). The distance between Vienna and Bratislava is only about 60 kilometres or a roughly one hours ride. Therefore every decision made in one city has a significant influence on the other. As well politicians as the business community agree to the importance of co-ordinated development and cooperation within the region. Several initiatives were and are started off by associations like the Viennese and the Slovak Chambers of Commerce. Many cross-boarder projects are co-financed by the European Union. The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate and quantify the benefits of a cooperation between Vienna and Bratislava in the field of transport and land use planning. The dynamic land use and transport interaction model MARS of Vienna was extended to cover the whole region Vienna – Bratislava. This model is able to simulate a wide range of competition versus cooperation scenarios.

BRATISLAVA and VIENNA: Twin Cities with Big Potentials
SEPTEMBER 2018 Policy Notes and Reports BRATISLAVA and VIENNA: Twin Cities with big Potentials Doris Hanzl-Weiss, Mario Holzner and Roman Römisch The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies Wiener Institut für Internationale Wirtschaftsvergleiche BRATISLAVA and VIENNA: Twin Cities with big Potentials DORIS HANZL-WEISS MARIO HOLZNER ROMAN RÖMISCH Doris Hanzl-Weiss is Economist at The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw). Mario Holzner is Deputy Scientific Director of wiiw. Roman Römisch is Economist at wiiw. Abstract The economies of Vienna and Bratislava have seen quite a different development over the last decades. While Vienna’s population increased by about 20% within two decades, Bratislava’s population mostly stagnated. However, measured in GDP per capita at purchasing power parties, average income in Bratislava has surpassed that of Vienna and is now among the top-10 leading regions in Europe. Massive foreign direct investment, particularly in the automotive sector, has caused full employment in Bratislava. Nevertheless, Vienna as one of the world’s most liveable cities is still attracting more immigration and labour markets are in less favourable conditions. Transport infrastructure between the two close cities has been improving only recently which leaves considerable scope for further reductions in travel time. Regional cooperation is under way and should be reinforced in order to meet the challenges ahead. Mass-emigration of young Slovaks over the last decades will lead to a rapid ageing in Slovakia over the next decades and the working age population is expected to shrink by almost a third by the end of the century, while Austria’s will mostly stagnate.

Twin City Liner – Exciting Journey with High-Speed Catamaran
Twin City Liner – exciting journey with high-speed catamaran The Twin City Liner catamaran connected the two amazing capitals – Vienna (Austria) and Bratislava (Slovakia) through the Danube River in the year 2006. The best news is that this is the shortest trip between two capitals, which takes only 75 minutes. Jun 28, 2017 Photo credit: Twin City Liner Bratislava is the city of innovation, fast and precise execution and easy accessibility. One might think that the only advantages of the city are two nearby airports, with one of their own and another close by in Vienna, great value for money, good quality services in general, the capacity of centrally located business hotels, their charming atmosphere and amazing hospitality within the Bratislava meetings industry. Well – to the list of all the advantages, we can easily add the water path to Bratislava from Vienna through the Danube River. Imagine traveling with the wind in your hair, fast and comfortably. Besides the high standard of traveling with the Twin City Liner, one would surely appreciate endearing views of the Danube bank with its charming nature and amazing sightseeing. When the weather is sunny and bright one would definitely enjoy the views on the external decks or in the fully air-conditioned inside deck and in a case of a bad weather enjoy the comfort of the first class seats, information displays and panoramic windows from the inside. Photo credit: Twin City Liner The high-speed catamaran offers comfortable transport right from the center of Bratislava from its landing stage on Rázusovo nábrežie close to the SNP Bridge.
