This study explored the general conditions for research and development of converging technologies (CT) in Austria. Several goals have been pursued: firstly, the term "converging technologies" and its different meanings, definitions and connotations will be represented and analysed. The second goal is to survey international research activities in this field, especially on European level. Eventually, Austrian actors and contact partners will be identified for a possible Austrian engagement in CT research and development.
