Since 10 years, there exist close ties between the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, the New York City Department of Education and the City University of New York in a multifaceted collaboration, and hopefully there are more decades of productive cooperation to come. Compared to other bilateral cooperation projects, the singularity of the Austrian-American Educational Cooperation lies in its duration as well as in the variety of the different projects: professional teacher development, overseas graduate education, and a „virtual enterprise“ program based on Austrian models.
This book gives a broad overview of the achievements and further goals of this ten-year partnership and features the reflections of founders, staff, teachers, students, faculty, friends and supporters of this successful project.
