This series of events aims at the exchange of ideas and experiences among scholars from Austria, Italy and Poland. Initiated in 2020, the discussion series will address the current world situation, current issues in the academic milieu, and the impact of COVID-19 on a number of areas of life - for example, universities, public discourse, the future of the world of work, or new forms of democracy (digital democracy). The seminars take the form of roundtable discussions in Vienna, and they are recorded and published on the center's social media profiles. In 2020, all seminars took place online due to COVID-19.
