Founded as a spin off of the University of Vienna, the BOC Group maintains good relations to scientific and teaching institutions ever since. Therefore Knowledge Partners coming from the academic environments should enlarge the versatile BOC partner network for co-operation in research and teaching. Standardisation bodies and other institutions complement this symbiosis by giving away industry trends and tidings in development of standards and de-facto standards.

Knowledge & Academic Partners benefit from usage of the products of the BOC Management Office in research and teaching, as well as from the agile exchange of information within the BOC partner network. Knowledge & Academic Partners receive initial trainings on products and methodology as well as discounts on additional courses. Furthermore the BOC Group thrives to support scientific communities in research and fosters ambitious projects on conferences and symposia.
