Subscribe now and look out for Vienna Coffee House Conversations on Europe's Futures from IWM. Coming very soon to your podcast app of choice.Ivan Vejvoda  is Head of the Europe's Futures program at the Institute

for Human Sciences (IWM Vienna) implemented in partnership with ERSTE

Foundation. The program is dedicated to the cultivation of knowledge and

the generation of ideas addressing pivotal challenges confronting Europe

and the European Union: nexus of borders and migration, deterioration

in rule of law and democracy and European Union’s enlargement prospects.

The Institute for Human Sciences is an institute of advanced studies in

the humanities and social sciences. Founded as a place of encounter in

1982 by a young Polish philosopher, Krzysztof Michalski, and two German

colleagues in neutral Austria, its initial mission was to create a

meeting place for dissenting thinkers of Eastern Europe and prominent

scholars from the West.

Since then it has promoted intellectual exchange across disciplines,

between academia and society, and among regions that now embrace the

Global South and North. The IWM is an independent and non-partisan

institution, and proudly so. All of our fellows, visiting and permanent,

pursue their own research in an environment designed to enrich their

work and to render it more accessible within and beyond academia.
