"Where, if not here at the Kreisky Forum, can we succeed in laying the foundations for this, in not resting on our laurels and developing ideas that we no longer quite trust ourselves to realise. We want to work on this, we don't want to dream this dream, we want to experience it, the Kreisky Forum is the ideal place for this."

Rudolf Scholten, President of the Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue in his Birthday speech on the occasion of the 25th anniversary.
