Funding of individual further education by Austrian Bundesländer

The most important grants for adults are provided by the nine Austrian countries (Bundesländer) but in very different forms and approaches. Budgets are defined for a one-year or multi-year period within the circle of legislation of yearly budgets, proposed by the county governments and formally decided by the county parliaments. The implementation of the schemes differs widely. The country of Vienna stands out as an agency with its own legal status is responsible for providing co-funding for adult learning.
