The Programme "Exploring Europe's Neighbourhood" (Erkundungen in Europas Nachbarschaft) takes place three times a year and focuses on the cultural, historical, and scientific context of the EU's neighbours. The Austrian radio has already told their audience about Egypt, Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Israel, Armenia, and other countries.
Last year, the Ukrainian Institute implemented two joint radio projects with the main Austrian public broadcaster ORF. The concert "Schubert. Lyatoshynsky. Kühr" included Lyatoshynsky's Third Symphony in the original, uncensored version performed by the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra ORF. In addition, the Institute became a partner of the Musikprotokoll festival, which featured works by Valentin Silvestrov, Maxim Shalygin, and Maxim Kolomiyets, in particular.
