First Aktion AT-CZ project for the Department of International Business

Within the framework of the project, the teams will meet on several occasions in both Prague and Eisenstadt in order to set up the project, define tasks that each member shall carry out and merge the individual contributions into a paper that will be submitted to a quality economic journal. In between the meetings, the team members will carry out individual research and write their respective sections of the article.

This approach gives the member institutions the opportunity to improve the quality of their respective education and research activities; therefore, the project submission was highly welcome.

Alexandra Baldwin of the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland stated: “After the first afternoon, it was clear to me that this project was headed in a very positive direction because all the students were eager to contribute to the activities on hand and the working climate was one of mutual respect and interest.”

”It was a great opportunity to get familiar with the process of writing an economic paper from scratch”, said Martin Hammerbauer of the University of Economics, Prague.

Jan Kašpar, other Czech student, added: “I was positively surprised by the synergy between the Austrian and Czech team members.”

“I am delighted that our project was accepted; the team work has been really intensive so far,” commented V. Hinčica from the University of Economics, Prague.
