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.
