The establishment of the CentralEastern Europe - Institute at the end of 2006 was an expression of understanding that awareness-raising of this region is limited. Organizations, businesses, chambers of commerce and industry and political institutions of the Metropolitan Region Rhine-Neckar GmbH were convinced that there was a need to develop the knowledge about this area by basic teaching, further education, applied research and building of (regional) networks.
The Institute was confirmed as an In-Institute at the University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen, School of Economics, by Council and Senate of the University and is therefore entitled to conduct examinations and award certificates. As the third component the MOI complements the triad of the East Asia-Institute and the Transatlantic-Institute providing international character of University. During the year 2007 the institute has started its work.
Aufgabe des Institutes ist es als Kompetenzzentrum in enger Verflechtung von Theorie und Praxis Forschung, Informationsgewinnung und Informationsweitergabe über den mittel- und osteuropäischen Wirtschaftsraum voranzutreiben
