The summer school is the future lab of the CAMPUS OF EXCELLENCE – strenuous mental work with precious little rest in-between. In 2008, the theme of knowledge and education takes front and center. Top-of-the-class students put their heads together with junior executives and journalists to develop probable scenarios: they discuss hypotheses, revisit and refine them, and leverage group dynamics to achieve tangible results. The combination of intellectual freedom and the pressure to present unique solutions by the end of the week is what makes this environment so appealing. The groups decide what to discuss, how to go forward – and what goals to set themselves. Dramatic advisors assist them in preparing their presentations.

A Scientific Advisory Committee ensures high-quality results and an excursion program with top-drawer dialog partners: in the Italian, Austrian and Swiss Alps, participants are given the opportunity to grow their minds. In this way, the CAMPUS OF EXCELLENCE brings together top thinkers to add new impulses to ongoing debates.
