The Danube Institute (Institute for Danube Regional Studies and European Integration Research) is the central AUB facility for raising the profile of research in the branches of science represented at the university (history, political, legal and economic sciences) as well as for the networking of university research activities with research facilities in Hungary, the partner countries and in other Central and Eastern European States.
In the centre of research activities at AUB are the projects on European integration and the Danube region which deal especially in comparative perspectives with political, economic, legal and historical-cultural questions of the region and its connection to Europe.
