Experimentation required - pioneers found!
Almost 100 researchers and practitioners from over thirty countries applied to the St.Gallen Collegium's first call for applications last fall. We were looking for creative minds who not only wanted to drive forward their own projects, but also wanted to tackle the annual theme together with their colleagues, practitioners and the public: Re-interpreting freedom - rethinking freedom.
