Anniversary project 2023
In view of current world developments, the HSG wants to be the first business university to establish a collegium. Across disciplines and sectors, researchers from all over the world will work together in St.Gallen to develop solutions to pressing social problems and give us more orientation.
Together with our community, we want to take on even more responsibility. New structures are required for this purpose.
“Time, time and time! The scarcest resource of a researcher is time,” says Professor Oliver Gassmann.
In our increasingly complex world, we are all looking for answers that give us orientation. In order to obtain holistic approaches to solutions, it is more necessary than ever for experts from different generations, sectors and backgrounds to be able to work together. Today, researchers lack the freedom to engage in this kind of co-creative collaboration. And universities lack the financial resources. The HSG wants to change this with the St.Gallen Collegium!

The prototype
Thanks to a grant from Prof. Dr. Josef Ackermann, the concept of the collegium could be tested in the summer of 2022: Following the St.Gallen Symposium, work was launched in three work streams, all dedicated to the issue of social cohesion, respectively. Trans- and interdisciplinary working groups St.Gallen Theses on “Social Sustainability” (led by Prof. Christa Binswanger and Prof. Judith Walls), “Citizenship & Statehood” (Prof. Christoph Frei) and “Future of Universities” (Prof. Oliver Gassmann). On September 16, 2023, the theses developed will be presented and widely discussed at the symposium on “Future of Universities, of Learning, Work & Research”.
