PROGRAMMES
At THE NEW INSTITUTE, we build on academic rigour and real impact. Our fellowship programmes address the most urgent questions of our time at the intersection of ecology, economy, democracy and the human condition.
-
The Foundations of Value and Values
What is a sustainable value system for the 21st century?
The programme “The Foundations of Value and Values” is motivated by a recognition that there are differing versions of how society and the economy function – and encourages a thorough thinking through of these various approaches to their logical conclusions.
-
The Future of Democracy
Which governance structures and forms of decision making enable systemic change for a sustainable future?
The programme “The Future of Democracy” explores how to make democratic decision-making processes and the respective institutions fit for the future – more responsive to contexts, more equitable, and more sustainable.
-
Socio-Economic Transformation
What is an economy that serves social well-being within planetary boundaries?
The programme “Socio-Economic Transformation” aims to find alternative ways to measure progress and develop rules of digital governance directed towards public interest and the common good.
-
The New Hanse
How can cities use data to become more democratic and sustainable?
The programme “The New Hanse” investigates the relationship between urban digital infrastructures, data justice, and sustainability, supporting the city of Hamburg’s transformation towards climate neutrality with tangible data-driven pilot projects.
-
Voices from the Past – Lessons for the Future
How do social movements lead to systemic change, when and why? What can we learn from past protest movements to help us build a better future from the present?
The programme “Voices from the Past – Lessons for the Future” is analyzing key-moments in Europe and beyond, treating change as a generational practice as well as an exercise in memory.
