3 InEquality UnGleichheit The Technology Symposium is searching for the causes, future developments and consequences of InEquality. What positive or negative impact does InEquality bring about? How relevant is it? Will new technologies and ways of thinking have a positive impact or a negative one? Can state-of-the-art developments like complexity research or the bio-economy deliver appropriate answers? What role will InEquality play in future industrial and working environments? InEquality will be at the centre of innovative discussions and encounters of science, research, technology, politics and industry. Numerous plenary sessions and fourteen breakout sessions will connect research, innovation and technology in an interdisciplinary dialogue with international experts. Junior Alpbach and Ö1 Children s University will explore new models of science education for future generations. Die Technologiegespräche auf einer spannenden Spurensuche nach Ursachen, zukünftigen Entwicklungen und deren Konsequenzen: Wo wirken sich ungleiche Verhältnisse positiv aus, wo negativ? Welche Relevanz hat UnGleicheit? Leisten neue Technologien und Denkweisen einen Beitrag dazu oder dagegen? Liefern neue Entwicklungen wie etwa in der Komplexitätsforschung oder der Bioökonomie die geeigneten Antworten? Welchen Stellenwert wird UnGleichheit in der Zukunft der Industrie und Arbeitswelt einnehmen? Das Generalthema UnGleichheit verknüpft die produktive Begegnung und Vernetzung von Wissenschaft, Forschung, Technologie, Politik und Industrie im Zeichen der Innovation. Zahlreiche Plenarreferate und 14 Arbeitskreise vermitteln Forschung, Innovation und Technologie in einem interdisziplinären Dialog mit internationaler Expertise. Junior Alpbach und die Ö1 Kinderuni erschließen neue Wege naturwissenschaftlicher Bildung für künftige Generationen. 2

8 Thursday, Plenary 19:45 21:15 Erwin-Schrödinger-Saal Panel Regional Debate Central Eastern Europe Simultaneous translation Austria has profited in many ways from the EU's expansion towards the East. Cooperation within the Vienna Region (Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland) with the neighbouring countries Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary has been especially successful. Research enterprises and a broad network of university and non-university R&D institutions have great potential for the future. Von der EU-Osterweiterung hat Österreich vielfach profitiert. Besonders gut hat sich die Zusammenarbeit der Vienna Region (Wien, Niederösterreich und Burgenland) mit den Nachbarländern Tschechien, Slowakei und Ungarn entwickelt. Forschungsorientierte Unternehmen und ein breites Netzwerk an universitären und außeruniversitären F&E- Einrichtungen bieten für diese Region ein großes Zukunftspotenzial.

9 Plenary 9:00 10:30 Erwin-Schrödinger-Saal Panel Bioeconomy / Bioökonomie In cooperation with the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. Simultaneous translation. The fact that growth won't last forever and resources are limited has contributed to the disappearance of many advanced civilizations. Global warming and imminent shortages in global food and energy supplies call for better, more sustainable and more balanced economic models. Bioeconomy uses living systems that have evolved over millions of years of evolution. Die Tatsache, dass Wachstum nicht ewig währt und Ressourcen begrenzt sind, hat schon viele Hochkulturen untergehen lassen. Die Erderwärmung sowie drohende Engpässe in der Welternährung und Energieversorgung verlangen bessere, nachhaltigere und ausgewogenere Wirtschaftsmodelle. Die Bioökonomie greift dafür auf lebende Systeme zurück, die in Jahrmillionen der Evolution entstanden sind.

Simultaneous translation In an increasingly interconnected world complexity is rising rapidly. Huge amounts of data from systems and sensors on the one hand, drastic changes in societies on the other. And everything is connected somehow. Complexity Science is trying to make comprehensible the effects of current developments on the whole of societies. Die Komplexität steigt in einer zunehmend vernetzten Welt rapide an. Riesige Datenmengen von Systemen und Sensoren auf der einen, drastische Veränderungen in der Gesellschaft auf der anderen Seite. Und alles hängt irgendwie zusammen. Complexity Science versucht, die Auswirkungen aktueller Entwicklungen auf die Gesamtgesellschaft erfassbar zu machen.

11 Saturday, Plenary Chair 11:50 13:15 Erwin-Schrödinger-Saal --- Art, Design and Architecture as Laboratory of Digital Modernity Kunst, Design und Architektur als Labor der Digitalen Moderne Simultaneous translation The process of digitalization is changing our daily lives so fundamentally that we live in a new era of modernity-digital Modernity. Challenges of this scale demand a radical change of attitude. How can we respond to the new global paradigm of AI (artificial intelligence) and robotics with "artistic intelligence", i.e. benefit from art and other creative disciplines in order to collectively promote positive change? Die Digitalisierung verändert unsere Gesellschaft so umfassend, dass wir in einer neuen, Digitalen Moderne leben. Herausforderungen dieser Größenordnung verlangen einen radikalen Einstellungswandel. Wie können wir der Bedeutung und Dynamik von AI (Artificial Intelligence) und Robotik mit Artistic Intelligence begegnen, also bildende Kunst und andere Kreativsparten für die kollektive Erarbeitung positiven Wandels nützen?

12 Breakout Sessions Breakout 13:00 18:00 Hauptschule Working Group : The End of Energy Revolution : Das Ende der Energiewende English language When talking about "alternative energy", we always think about the future; the more wetalk, the longer it will take to be put into practice. From a technological point of view, however, we are already in the thick of it: industrial and energy producing corporations are nearing their maximum efficiency levels. Only by linking individual disciplines and by recognising that global conditions differ greatly can regional or national laws on energy and climate policy be usefully and specifically assessed. Der Begriff Wende ist psychologisch stark mit Gedanken an die Zukunft besetzt; je länger wir davon sprechen, desto später wird sie tatsächlich eintreten. Vom technologischen Gesichtspunkt befinden wir uns allerdings bereits mittendrin: Industrien und Energieerzeugungstechnologien sind heute schon nahe an ihrem Effizienzmaximum. Erst durch die Vernetzung der einzelnen Fachrichtungen und unter der Berücksichtigung global stark differenzierender Bedingungen können regional oder auch überregional beschlossene Gesetze der Energie- und Klimapolitik gezielt bewertet werden.

13 Breakout 13:00 18:00 Hauptschule Working Group 02 Bioeconomy in Action: National Bio-Economy Strategies in Comparison 02 Bioeconomy in Action: Nationale Bioökonomie-Strategien im Vergleich English language The aim is to compare the different national Bioeconomy approaches (Finland, Germany, Italy, South Africa, USA) and to derive viable trajectories for an Austrian Bioeconomy Strategy. Currently, Austria concentrates its activities in the field of research, technology and innovation; for strong political support and social acceptance further steps certainly remain to be taken. Those shall be discussed with international experts and decision-makers lifting the Austrian process to the next level. Im Fokus steht ein Vergleich der verschiedenen nationalen Bioökonomie-Ansätze (Deutschland, Finnland, Italien, Südafrika, USA) und die Diskussion möglicher Entwicklungspfade für eine österreichische Bioökonomie-Strategie. Derzeit konzentriert sich Österreich auf den Forschungs- und Innovationsbereich; für eine breite politische sowie gesellschaftliche Verankerung bedarf es weiterer Schritte, die mit internationalen ExpertInnen diskutiert werden sollen.

14 Breakout 13:00 18:00 Hauptschule Working Group 03 Human Enhancement Technologies: Amplifying or Reducing Inequality? 03 Human Enhancement Technologien: Verstärkung oder Reduktion von Ungleichheit English language Technologies facilitate various forms of enhancement in human characteristics (physical, cognitive, emotional, social). "Ordinary" human capabilities are optimised (e.g. neuro-enhancement, robotics, Google Glass, prostheses). A specific fusion of human and artefact takes place and appropriate technological design is critical.. This breakout session will focus on the limits of enhanced performance,; where do these limits bring more inequality but also a potential for enhancing societal benefit. What fundamental aspects of this development and its design considerations are most important for our future? Technologien erlauben diverse Formen der Erweiterung von menschlichen Eigenschaften (körperliche, kognitive, emotionale, soziale). Normale Fähigkeiten des Menschen werden optimiert (z.b. Neuro-Enhancement, Robotik, Google Glass, Prothesen). Die Verschmelzung von Mensch und Techno-Artefakt und das Design der Technologie bekommen eine tragende Bedeutung. Es braucht eine interdisziplinäre Auseinandersetzung mit dem Grenzgang zwischen Leistungssteigerung und dem Einsatz für das gesellschaftliche Wohl. Welche Aspekte zeichnet diese Entwicklung aus und welche Gestaltungsaspekte werden wesentlich?

15 Breakout 13:00 18:00 Hauptschule Working Group 04 Research Promotion at the Interfaces of Risk, Creativity and Mainstream 04 Forschungsförderung zwischen Risiko, Kreativität und Mainstream German language Austria's system of research promotion is well established but is it in good shape for the future? Do we promote the right projects and do we promote them well? What are the conflicts that arise between societal benefit and risk acceptance for the state? Is our research system able both to foster exceptional innovation, i.e. creative entrepreneurial approaches and to take the accompanying risk? Ordo risk-minimizing and perfectly styled controlling systems force us to only promote the mainstream? Almost to the point of facilitating the so-called 'free-rider effect'? Österreichs Forschungsförderungssystem ist gut ausgebaut ist es jedoch für die Zukunft richtig aufgestellt? Fördern wir noch das Richtige und fördern wir richtig? In welchem Spannungsfeld zwischen gesellschaftlichem Nutzen und Risikoakzeptanz befindet sich der Staat? Ist unser Förderungssystem so aufgestellt, auch die außergewöhnliche Innovation, das kreative, unternehmerische Neue, zu erfassen und entsprechend Risiko einzugehen, oder zwingen uns risikominimierende und durchgestylte Controllingabläufe, nur mehr den Mainstream zu fördern? Hart an der Grenze zum Mitnahmeeffekt?

16 Breakout 13:00 18:00 Hauptschule Working Group 05 Market Pheavals: Challenges and Opportunities for Innovation? 05 Marktumbrüche: Herausforderung und Chance für Innovation? German language Changes caused by regulatory interventions, the entry of new competitors, and even product and process innovations jeopardise established business models and force companies to be flexible as never before and to strengthen further their resilience. On top of that, the fusion of industrial production with ICT ("Industry 4.0") opens up new opportunities for targeted customer orientation, efficiency and services. How can established companies reinvent themselves and how can innovative business models reinforce competitiveness? How do dynamic companies succeed in becoming "industry leaders of tomorrow" by using new business models? Umbrüche durch regulative Eingriffe, Einstieg neuer Wettbewerber, selbst Produkt- und Prozessinnovationen gefährden etablierte Geschäftsmodelle und zwingen Unternehmen zu einer nie dagewesenen Flexibilität und Stärkung ihrer Resilienz. Die Verschmelzung industrieller Produktion mit IKT ( Industrie 4.0 ) eröffnet zudem neue Möglichkeiten für gezielte Kundenorientierung, Effizienz und Services. Wie können sich etablierte Unternehmen neu erfinden und Geschäftsmodellinnovationen die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit stärken? Wie gelingt es dynamischen Unternehmen, mit neuen Geschäftsmodellen zu Leitbetrieben von morgen zu werden?

17 Breakout 13:00 18:00 Hauptschule Working Group 06 Entrepreneurship: What Can Science Contribute? 06 Entrepreneurship: Was kann das Wissenschaftssystem beitragen? German language Entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly relevant for universities and research institutions as they seek to strengthen their role within the innovation process to advance the social and economic development of our society. This raises the question of how framework conditions at universities and research institutions can be further improved to promote entrepreneurial attitudes and actions. Through this processsuch organisations can be enabled to play a greater role in knowledge and technology transfer by identifying potential opportunities and to developing and implement radical new deas. Entrepreneurship gewinnt für Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen zunehmend an Relevanz, um ihre aktive Rolle im Innovationsprozess zur sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Weiterentwicklung der Gesellschaft vorantreiben zu können. Daraus ergibt sich die Frage, wie man die Rahmenbedingungen an Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen weiter verbessern kann, um unternehmerisches Denken und Handeln zu fördern und damit das aktive Engagement im Wissens- und Technologietransfer durch bestmögliche Identifizierung von Verwertungschancen, dem Entwickeln von Ideen sowie deren Umsetzung weiter zu erhöhen.

18 Breakout 13:00 18:00 Hauptschule Working Group 07 Games of InEquality 07 Spiele der UnGleichheit German language The new EU accounting directive obliges big enterprises to publish their diversity strategies in order to develop a sustainable global economic system, combining long-term profitability with social justice and environmental protection. However, what are the prerequisites for a diversity strategy to achieve in such results? How can we realise the envisaged benefits like "more innovation", "improved market opportunities", or a "better working atmosphere"? And what are the games that we will have to brace ourselves for? In this breakout session we will develop further perspectives on these themes. Mit der neuen Bilanzrichtlinie der EU sind große Unternehmen verpflichtet, ihre Diversity Strategien mit dem Ziel zu veröffentlichen, eine nachhaltige globale Wirtschaft zu entwickeln, in der langfristig Rentabilität mit sozialer Gerechtigkeit und Umweltschutz verbunden werden. Doch unter welchen Voraussetzungen führt eine Diversity Strategie zu solchen Effekten? Wie können die versprochenen Benefits mehr Innovation, bessere Marktchancen, besseres Arbeitsklima erreicht werden? Und auf welche Spiele müssen wir gefasst sein? In der Breakout Session sollen dazu weiterführende Perspektiven entwickelt werden.

19 Breakout 13:00 18:00 Hauptschule Working Group 08 Physical Internet: A Seismic Shift for Logistics and Mobility 08 Physisches Internet: Überragende Vision für Logistik und Mobilität English language Global integrated self-regulating data flows offer a highly efficient information exchange. Physical Internet (PI) transfers the underlying principle of the exchange of standardised data packages combined with real-time decisions to the material flows. This results in a resilient economy supported by a true "people, planet, profit" oriented discipline of logistics & mobility. The session will provide suggestions of how to overcome apparent discrepancies and also how to reduce idle power drastically, includingin the physical world. A journey from new business models down to their very basics. Global integrierte, selbststeuernde Datenflüsse bieten hocheffizienten Informationsaustausch. PI überträgt das zugrundeliegende Prinzip des Austauschs standardisierter Datenpakete kombiniert mit Echtzeitentscheidungen auf die Materialflüsse. Ergebnis ist eine resiliente Wirtschaft, gestützt auf eine Mensch, Planet und Profit orientierte Disziplin Logistik & Mobilität. Der Arbeitskreis bietet Anregungen, scheinbare Widersprüche zu überwinden und damit auch in der physischen Welt Blindleistungen drastisch zu reduzieren. Eine Reise von neuen Geschäftsmodellen bis hin zu deren Voraussetzungen.

The key to success is based on the exchange of knowhow between different research groups and economic institutions. Interdisciplinary cooperation increases the potential for innovation and creates new ways of thinking. What are the necessary steps for research and development to recognize market necessities and what forms of communication are indispensable to promote better cooperation of potential innovation drivers? Technologiestandorte mit strategischer Ausrichtung und maßgeschneiderten Fördersystemen verzeichnen eine höhere Wirtschaftlichkeit. Der Erfolgsfaktor liegt im Austausch von Know How zwischen unterschiedlichen Forschergruppen und der Wirtschaft.
