Dialogue offers

We offer inspiring and practice-oriented dialogues and create participatory and appreciative spaces for societal learning and sustainable innovations.

An ongoing dialogue between science, civil society, politics, business and administration is crucial for the success of sustainable transformations. We therefore create spaces that enable societal learning and the development of sustainable innovations. The resulting exchange enables the integration of different perspectives and creates synergies as well as mutual learning processes. This facilitates overcoming barriers, resolving conflicts and raising awareness of the urgency of sustainable change.

Science and Art

Fostering Collaboration between Science and the Arts

The collaboration between science and art offers immense potential to make complex sustainability topics accessible to a broader audience – not only on an intellectual level but also through sensory experience. In our transdisciplinary research, communication efforts, and knowledge transfer, we regularly partner with artists, art academies, and museums.
