OUR MISSION
FILM BY STUDIO PREMO

On the basis of humanistic and social-scientific reflection on human becoming, we develop concrete visions of future socio-economic and political realities.

PROGRAMS

In each program we gather thinkers and practitioners with interdisciplinary and intercultural backgrounds in academia, politics, business, media, the arts, and technology around concrete projects that effect positive social change.
Fellows live and work together in Hamburg at the Warburg Ensemble.
