Since 1992, eleven k·education project offices have been set up in key educational institutions in Central, East and South-East Europe on behalf of and with the support of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture and KulturKontakt Austria. The offices are managed by the Austrian educational coordinators.

The coordination office for the educational coordinators and for bilingual schools – also established by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education – is an addition to this network and serves together with KulturKontakt Austria as a hub for the Austrian partners.

The k·education offices coordinate and implement projects supported by Austrian and international donorsin the area of schools, for example within the framework of the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe, and they also initiate EU projects. To this end they cooperate with Austrian educational institutions and educational initiatives and with numerous partners in the host countries (ministries, pedagogic institutes, universities, colleges, vocational training institutions, schools, foundations, NGOs) and international organisations.
The project offices work as a close network, also on cross-border projects and organise regional and international activities.

Alongside the development, implementation and management of the projects tailored to the requirements of the partner countries, the educational coordinators also work as mediators between diverse cultures and different types of institutions. They offer advice, information and services and carry out public relations work.

As the Austrian representatives of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture and of KulturKontakt Austria, they are involved in numerous events and take responsibility for various tasks such as project management, facilitating discussions, monitoring und consulting.
