EUROPE DIRECT Fulda und Pulse of Europe Fulda laden dich zum philosophischen Workshop ein: „Alter Europe“ – Europas Zukunft in unseren Händen

Meike Gleim (wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin der HS Fulda, Künstlerin und Philosophin) und Loretta Mesiti (Dramaturgin) aus Brüssel leiten den Workshop. Dieser wird in Kooperation mit dem Fulda Centre for Transnational Governance durchgeführt.

📅 📍 Wann & Wo? Der Workshop findet am 15. September von 17:00 Uhr bis 20:00 Uhr im Hochschulzentrum Fulda Transfer, Heinrich-von-Bibra-Platz 1a statt.

“AlterEurope” ist ein philosophischer Workshop, der dich dazu einlädt, Europas Zukunft mitzugestalten und sich gemeinsam mit Philosoph*innen und Schriftsteller*innen zu fragen, wie ein anderes Europa - ein AlterEurope - aussehen kann. Paul Valéry fragte vor hundert Jahren, ob Europa in Zukunft das sein wird, was es in Wirklichkeit ist, ein Zipfel des asiatischen Kontinents? Diese provokante Frage zeigt uns, welche Aufgabe vor uns steht. Was können wir tun, damit Europa den Herausforderungen der Zukunft begegnen kann?

Wenn du Interesse an einen Dialog über Europas Zukunft hast, melde dich bitte formlos per E-Mail bis zum 12. September an: europedirect-events@hs-fulda.de. Bitte beachte, dass die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung begrenzt ist. Du wirst eine Bestätigung zu deiner Registrierung erhalten und alle weiteren Informationen.

Wir freuen uns auf einen spannenden Austausch zur Zukunft Europas mit dir!

Central Banks have decisively changed their role in the last decades.
While they had for a long time mainly been seen as guarantors of
monetary stability, they more and more took on the function of political
players in manifold respects. This change intensified during the
financial crisis after 2008, and once again in the COVID pandemic.
Prof. Dr. Joscha Wullweber (Universität Witten Herdecke) and Prof. Dr.
Claudia Wiesner (Fulda UAS) will present their work in this field and
discuss the changed function of Central Banks.

The European Commission has found Google to be dominant on various internet markets and between 2017 and 2019 adopted three decisions against Google, condemning as abuses of Google's dominant position various practices relating to; the promotion of Google’s own specialised services in search results, Google’s exploitation of the Android operating system for mobile devices and Google’s imposition of exclusivity requirements towards certain customers of its internet advertising service.

The talk will explain the conceptual and practical challenges relating to the application of EU competition law to the internet, through the process of lengthy investigations conducted by the European Commission, followed by litigation before the European Courts. The talk will also consider how competition law enforcement fits into the wider policy concerns about the dominance of internet services by a few companies, looking ahead to the regulatory initiatives now being taken in Member States and by the EU’s proposed Digital Markets Act.

The public is a sphere with special features. This special space between state and society does not exist per se but needs to be brought to life and be cultivated - again and again. Both, state and society struggle with silos, which in part can only be brought to mutual exchange through major efforts. This raises the responsibility of the citizens, especially in the face of the upcoming systemic transformations, which demand participatory impact assessment and collaborative governance.

All of us can build bridges and open new horizons for deliberation: By broadening our imagination, we can reconsider the existing, question assumptions and create something new.

New architectures for decision-making have to be designed with anticipation and by co-creation - in order to change the way in which public administration and politics deal with complexities and capacities. Too much too ask or a prerequisite for a common future? Caroline Paulick-Thiel will present selected examples from her work with Politics for Tomorrow and open them for debate.

Caroline is strategic designer and expert for responsible innovation and transformative learning. Educated in Design (BA) und Public Policy (MPP), she has extensive experiences in the development and direction of co-creative processes for public challenges.
