| book description |

The future of the university This book serves not only to document the symposium ""Radical University,"" which highlighted the contribution of the university to social development, it also discusses interdisciplinarity and dialogue between art and science in relation to social relevance and responsibility. Furthermore, it pays tribute to the work of Rector Gerald Bast at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. By establishing several new programs of interdisciplinary study, particularly pertaining to the convergence of art and science, and by taking a clear sociopolitical stance, he laid down important markers for the university. This publication explores three core themes: art and science the development of a campus university and educational reform. All of the texts in this book discuss the future of education in times of radical change, revealing radical perspectives on the university as an institution. On the challenges faced by universities in the 2 st century Contributions by Aleida Assmann, Klaus Bollinger, Brigitte Felderer, Olga Grjasnowa, Daniela Hammer-Tugendhat, Lisz Hirn, Anab Jain, Judith Kohlenberger, Meinhard Lukas, Helga Nowotny, Ferdinand Schmatz, and others With photographs and renderings by Marlene Mautner
