Women for future - Frauen und Zukunft

Women for Future
International Symposium, 1–2 July 2015
Gender Justice Focus, University of Vienna, Lecture Hall C2
University Campus, Spitalgasse 2–4, Yard 2.6
Programme
Human intelligence creates unlimited ideas, research and technologies that have high impact on the development of societies and
the human being itself. Do we actively design the future without
reflecting this impact? How do we want to connect with and
within technologies? How do we shape our environment for us
and for other living beings? How do we engage with evolutionary
demands emerging between biology and culture?
