Vienna’s Contribution to Democracy in the Austrian Constitutional Convention

Research field: Urban Transformations Towards Sustainability: A Law and Governance Perspective

The project “Vienna’s Contribution to Democracy in the Austrian Constitutional Convention” receives funding as part of the new WU initiative to promote socially relevant research (Impact Grant Research). The project is headed by Teresa Weber in collaboration with Tamara Ehs. The transdisciplinary and participatory project aims to empower civil society to contribute to the planned Austrian Constitutional Convention (“Verfassungskonvent”) and to anchor democratic innovations at the federal level. The project represents a continuation of the constitutional considerations made by Teresa Weber and Sophie Manon Chourabi in the project ‘Participatory Budgeting in Vienna’.

Project lead: PD Dr. Teresa WEBER, MSc.

Funding: WU Foundation, Impact Grant Research
