With its expert dialogues ÖPIA has introduced a line of informal exchange of information and knowledge between representatives from different scientific disciplines, political backgrounds and relevant public institutions. Approximately four times a year, ÖPIA organizes an afternoon of discourse, where topics of broad scientific and public interest are discussed. The main objectives are mutual exchange of information, joint debate and identification of interdisciplinary and inter-departmental questions and possibilities of transdisciplinary cooperation.
