A weekend with a view

Look closely at what is happening.
Ilse Aichinger

Program

For three days, journalists will meet other knowledgeable mediators of information from different regions of the world in Innsbruck. In conversations with colleagues and other experts, visitors find out what is going on behind the scenes of the information on international events, which is often hastily and superficially conveyed, and can contribute.

Current social, political and cultural developments are the focus of the debates, from book presentations, exhibitions, doc-films and audio features. The Journalismusfest Innsbruck opens a window to the complex present in which we live.

A holistic view:

Whether it is fungi or bacteria, many pathogens are developing resistance to medications – to such an extent that it is already considered a silent pandemic. According to forecasts, unless the scientific community and politicians take action, ten million people a year could die by 2050 in connection with infections caused by drug-resistant pathogens. To take countermeasures we need to understand one thing above all: Human, animal, plant and ecological health are closely intertwined and interdependent.
