Austrian Centre for Country of Origin and Asylum Research and Documentation (ACCORD)

The Austrian Centre for Country of Origin and Asylum Research and Documentation (ACCORD) is an independent country of origin information centre affiliated with the Austrian Red Cross and co-funded by the European Refugee Fund, UNHCR, the Austrian Ministry of the Interior and the Austrian refugee organizations. ACCORD's activities include researching individual information requests, publishing country reports and managing the country of origin information website www.ecoi.net. Between 1999 and 2002, and again in 2005 and 2007, ACCORD organized workshops in the European Country of Origin Information Seminar Series.

This collection contains: Länderberichten (country reports), Länderkurzübersichten (compilation of electronic sources on a specific country), Reiseberichten (reports from fact-finding missions) and reports from the European Country of Origin Information Seminar Series.
