This event is organized by the Department of Public Law and Tax Law

The Austrian constitution is one of the oldest in Europe. Does it still work as intended? Does it still effectively safeguard our co-existence in a free, constitutional democracy faced with the challenges of globalization and digitalization? And is it resistant to authoritarian tendencies? Will new instruments be needed to ensure the continued existence of our free, constitutional democracy? We will be looking into the question of which parts of our constitution are outdated – and which are still going strong even after 100 years.
