DIOSCURI – Research project

The Final Project Report of the DIOSCURI project (June 2004-May 2007) is now available for download.

Invoking the mythological figures Castor and Pollux, DIOSCURI focused on current encounters in Europe to predict the ways of cohabitation between the twin economic cultures of the "East" and the "West". The research fields - entrepreneurship, governance and economic knowledge - were explored in four East-Central European countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia) and in four countries of South-Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Serbia and Montenegro).

The research project was funded within the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme. Project co-ordination was provided by the Center for Policy Studies at the Central European University, in Budapest. The project is supported by the Principal Researcher based at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna, and assisted by an International Board.

The findings of the project was presented at a final conference open to the public, held in Vienna, April 20-22, 2007.
