Betreff: Limits to Growth - Winter School - VolkswagenFoundation
Dear Sir or Madam,
The buzzword of our time, "sustainability", is closely related to a book
published 40 years ago, in 1972: "The Limits to Growth" by an MIT project team
involving Donella and Dennis Meadows. Only few things seem to have changed
since then. Again the various developments in different societies call for new
matching modes of thinking that promise a secure future for everyone. What is
smart or good growth? Why are so many findings of the report still unresolved?
Will there be solutions? And which ones could that be?
In order to give fresh impetus to the debate, the Volkswagen Foundation, who
funded "Limits to Growth", aims to foster new thinking and the development of
different models in all areas related to the "Limits to Growth" study at the
crossroads of natural and social sciences.
The Winter School "Limits to Growth Revisited" (November 24 to December 1,
2012) is directed specifically at highly talented young scholars from related
disciplines.
The Volkswagen Foundation intends to grant this selected group of post docs and
PhD students the opportunity to develop new hypotheses, ideas, and questions.
These results will be presented at an international conference on "Limits to
Growth" in Hanover held by the Volkswagen Foundation and Dennis Meadows
together with high-ranking international experts from various disciplines on
the "Limits to Growth" topics. The conference will take place in Hanover
(Germany) on Wednesday, 28 and Thursday 29, 2012. Please visit:

Please send the attached call to anyone interested in applying for a
scholarship to attend the Limits to Growth Winter School.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or my
colleague Nataliya Moor at

Kind regards,
