Research and Teaching

Research covers (a) all aspects of activities in Botanic Gardens and (b) of the field of plant biogeography ranging from the intra- specific to the community level; focusing on floristic and the mapping of European vascular plant distributions and study many aspects of plant chorology including molecular phylogeography (with emphasis on Arctic-Alpine and Mediterranean plant groups), as well as taxonomic studies with particular biogeographic concern. Finally, we apply this research to the needs of conservation.

Diakonie Austria develops and promotes development cooperation projects with the aim of combating poverty and enabling sustainable improvements in the living standards of people from the so-called ‘Third World’ countries. Our work focuses on the key areas of; people with disabilities, training and education and conflict management within civil society.
Diakonie Austria projects aim to strengthen the independence and enterprise of the beneficiaries. For this reason, all projects are developed and implemented in cooperation with a local partner organisation. We see the people who live in and work on our projects as equal partners, with whom we share an on-going and mutual learning process. In this way, the long-term sustainability of the projects is assured.
We strive towards a fairer world. In crisis regions, this means that we engage to support organisations facilitating dialogue between parties from opposing sides of a conflict.

Our mission is to spread the ideas of dialogue communication in the sense of david bohm and marting buber, and to give education in this field. we also do trainings in related communicative fields as well as supervision and coaching and scientific research.

Our Mission is based on the fact, that every child has a right to participate in the arts and cultural activities and on the vision to create this reality. Dschungel Wien is an authentic platform, where young people negotiate their perspectives, interests and realities through the theatre, dance and performance. We put a spotlight on young peoples’ reflections on society, wishes, fears and visions but also their provocations and utopias in our performances for and with young audiences. In our theatre meditation program, we process a lot of non-profit projects, that focus on participation, co-creation and cultural education with different groups (refugees, people with disabilities, etc.). If a young person can’t afford attending a theatre performance or any other cultural activity in Dschungel Wien, the entry is for free.
