June 27, 2025: II IAW Workshop Growth. Prosperity. Democracy - Deciding and acting in the face of increasing uncertainty
Venue: Head office of the Deutsche Bundesbank in Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart
The IAW workshop is dedicated to the following questions:
- State of scientific knowledge on growth, income and wealth distribution, nature consumption and democracy. Are there gaps in research and knowledge?
- How can an informed public discourse with rational decisions for action emerge from scientific findings?
- How does this discourse fit into practical processes of the emergence of communicative power and its institutional implementation in administrative power? What roles do actors as diverse as scientists, NGOs, political parties and the media play in this process?
- What are the factors that turn knowledge of and about problems into a trigger for rapid countermeasures, even if these involve serious impositions for the citizens affected?
- Why are insights into the need for self-restraint reinterpreted as restrictions on freedom that inhibit action? How can a revision succeed?
Please note: The number of participants is limited to 25. We therefore ask you to register early by e-mail to michael.mangold@iaw.edu
