The Austrian Science and Research Liaison Office (ASRLO) has offices in Brno, Ljubljana and Sofia. The branch office in Ljubljana was at first a branch of the Austrian Institute of East and South East European Studies. Its main research interests are the socio-economic transformation processes in South Eastern Europe, national minorities, especially the Roma in South Eastern Europe, and the utilisation of modern information and telecommunication technologies in South Eastern Europe. ASRLO Ljubljana has published several books, including Austria-Slovenia: Past and Present, Polzer Miroslav and Ferdinand Mayrhofer-Gruenbuehel (eds), Ljubljana, Klagenfurt, 2002 (in Slovene).
In March 2004 the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research appointed the Centre of Social Innovation (ZSI) in Vienna to take over the Ljubljana and Sofia Institutes. The office in Ljubljana moved from the Faculty of Arts to the International Centre for the Promotion of Enterprises.
