FOCUS
History, Education and Science
In the face of numerous challenges in the economic and social spheres, understanding of historical events and political contexts seems to be waning. Democracy, liberalism, humanism and the Enlightenment, as well as narratives of decolonisation, justice and the protection of human rights, could collapse like a house of cards.
Our goal is to work with locally and internationally engaged figures from politics, business, academia, culture and civil society and to shape forward-looking discussions and implementation strategies for education and science. We are particularly keen to involve early-career researchers in our events and activities.
“If Austrian science and the arts are to make a visible contribution once again to the rapidly evolving global culture, we must truly be committed to it, rather than just talking about it all the time.”
