Schon vor Beginn des Festivals haben 200 Studierende aus über 70 Ländern bei der Festival University von Ars Electronica und der JKU vier Wochen lang ihre Zeit mit Wissenschaftler*innen der JKU, mit den Künstler*innen der Ars Electronica und mit vielen weiteren hochrangigen Expert*innen aus allen Bereichen von Kunst, Technologie, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft verbracht. Sie präsentieren die Ideen und Erkenntnisse, die sie auf der Suche nach einer internationalen Verfassung für Klimaschutz gewinnen konnten, bei der realitätsnahen Simulation eines Internationalen Gerichtshofs („The International Environmental and Climate Court“). Der IECC tagt am 9. Sept., 10. Sept. und 11. Sept. auf der Festival University Stage in KEPLER’S GARDENS und stellt Petitionen zu Wasser, Migration und Energie in den Mittelpunkt.

Die globalen Herausforderungen von morgen erfordern eine neue Herangehensweise – eine, die auf Kreativität und gemeinsamer Gestaltung basiert. Die Festival University, eine gemeinsame Initiative von Ars Electronica und der Johannes Kepler Universität Linz (JKU), lädt Studierende aus der ganzen Welt ein, gemeinsam globale Strategien für Wandel und Transformation zu entwickeln.

Mit „Welcome to Planet B“ als Titel des diesjährigen Festivals, liegt der Schwerpunkt des Programms nicht nur auf dem Klimawandel und seinen Auswirkungen selbst, sondern erstreckt sich auch auf die noch wichtigere Frage, wie wir als Gesellschaft, als Nationen, als globale Gemeinschaft auf die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen reagieren können.

  • Wie können wir zusammenarbeiten und die erforderlichen massiven Veränderungen bewältigen?
  • Wie können wir die Veränderungen in Gang setzen?
  • Wie können wir solche Veränderungen bewältigen?
  • Welche Folgen werden all diese Veränderungen haben?
  • Wie wird die Welt, unsere Welt, aussehen, wenn wir diesen Wandel geschafft haben?
