The focus of the INST activities was the cooperation with the Jura Soyfer Society in the context of the 100th birth anniversary of Jura Soyfer (1912-1939). A programmatic text to the other activity will be presented in this summer. Still, it comes to find a way to finance the activities of the non-profit association INST with 10,000 project participants from over 100 countries. These efforts are organized in the gaining of knowledge (research projects, conferences) and public (website, file-books, TRANS).

Update Info 2011-06-23

The Austrian Ministry of Science and Research does not finance about 270 none universitarian institutes or organizations anymore – not the societies, not their symposia, not there conferences or publications. This measure, which was described as "structural adjustment", brings no savings, but rather the state of Austria estimated a damage of one billion Euros. It subjects them mostly decades-old research facilities in universities or trying to destroy them. It is one of the many destructive acts of authoritarianism that have been set since 2000. Details of this policy of destruction - which are directed against the societies or the civil society as a whole - will be described in the following publication, which also shows that the authoritarianism in the research policy and research funding as a production grant is a major reason for today's (financial -) crises. The title of the book: The Knowledge Societies in their beginning. Details on the WWW: http://www.inst.at/burei/CBand11.htm

Other books INST will present to the general public in the fall of 2011:

Update Info 2009-08-17

The INST-World-TV is being tested since autumn 2008. In the meantime the technique and the technology are available. Its inauguration was on the 16 February 2009 with the film „Der Weg in den Tod“ [ The way into death ] – a world lecture with the Wiener Vorlesungen and the Volkshochschule Brigittenau at the 70th anniversary of the death of Jura Soyfer in the concentration camp Buchenwald (he died on 16 February 1939/ see the publication about him in the INST-book series: Die Lebendigkeit Jura Soyfers (The liveliness of Jura Soyfer).

On 15 July 2009 the Rector of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University University (KBSU), Prof.Dr. Barasbi S. Karamursow, and the Scientific Director of the INST, Dr. Herbert Arlt, concluded a contract to establish a world museum of the mountains at the foot of the highest mountain in Europe (the Elbrus with 5.643m). The project pages in German, Russian and English will be accessible by the end of August. The link to the „World Museum of the Mountains“ will be found under http://www.inst.at/deutsch/projekte.htm There one will also find a film which documents the presentation of the project before the scientific council of the KBSU.

Further the book series were extended and the INST-world publishing house will be showcased in 2010. Its goal is to offer a not-profit-platform for scientific and artistic publications – as an alternative to publishers who transform work of knowledge producers and tax money into private profit.

Highlight of the INST-activities will be a virtual conference from 25 to the 28 November 2010, where a million participants are expected. This conference will be prepared from the 4 to the 7 October 2009 at an INST-Strategy-conference in Baden near Vienna. The goal will be to position knowledge productions in societies regionally as well as transnationally, so that they can achieve their own mission.
