The core fields of expertise of the Multidisciplinary European Research Institute Graz deal with social, cultural, political, ecological and economic issues; the main focus could therefore be described as follows:

• Cultural, economic and social issues dealing with European policies and market opportunities (e.g. market studies);
• Employment policies (e.g. impact assessment of regional development policies);
• General and vocational training, especially the use of information technology in the learning process;
• Management and support of national and international projects;
• Evaluations and assessments, both thematic and financial, of national and EU-projects (e.g. for DG Education and Culture).
