The University of Liechtenstein sees itself as a place of pioneering thinking, as well as original and in-depth thinking – a place for exploring and highlighting new perspectives. Denkraum showcases current research at the University of Liechtenstein that has added value for the region and makes an important local contribution. This will provide significant impulses for the active shaping of the future of the Alpenrheintal-Bodensee region and present the public with courageous answers to outstanding issues.
Focus on sustainable innovation
It’s all very well to come up with ideas, but how do you actually put them into practice? Can social entrepreneurship, strategic philanthropy and competition-oriented business practice be combined in a sustainable way? What kinds of infrastructure support active civic involvement in the state and in politics? Where are niches for new business models on the market for innovations still waiting to be exploited? How are digital technologies changing our life, and what opportunities do they offer? These and other questions come under the spotlight in the first issue of Denkraum, dedicated to the subject of sustainable innovation.
Distribution and printing
With a total edition of 52,000 copies, the knowledge magazine will be distributed to households in Liechtenstein, Buchs and Vorarlberg.
