More than 170 researchers and research administrators took part – a fantastic turn-out.

Regarding ASEA-UNINET Mrs. Unger provided information about the ASEA-UNINET project funding (joint bilateral research projects / teaching cooperations between Thai and Austrian member universities) and grants, namely the Grants for Postdoc Staff Exchange and the Ernst Mach Grant – ASEA-UNINET.
