Bergweg-Forum Denken der Zukunft e. V. – Innovative Interdisciplinary Thought

Guiding principles

To do new things is the challenge of our time. But what are the preconditions for successful innovation? How can we be sure the innovations we design will be effective in the long term? Do traditional conceptual models of industrial society still provide an appropriate framework for them? Or do we have to think and learn in new ways in every sphere of society? Do we need to transcend borders and create new interdisciplinary knowledge networks? We develop perspectives for the future in dialog with our clients and partners. The aim is to create confidence by exploring the relations between different intellectual approaches, cultures and disciplines.
