Invited Presenters among other:

Prof. Hans-Peter Dürr, Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Dürr, studied quantum-physics. From Werner Heisenberg he took ober the directory of the Max-Planck-Institute for physics to Munich. In 1987 H-P.Dürr founded in Starnberg the Global Challenges Network (CGN). In the same year he received the Alternative Noble-prize due to his profound critics on Ronald Reagan?s strategy of his defensivealliance, which R.R. founded in 1983 and for his efforts to use highly developed technology to stabilize and support peace.
H-P. Dürr is member of the Club of Rome and Pugwas, a group of scientists which focus critical on research and evaluation results which discuss the issues of public safeness and the actual politics of peace. This group received the peace Nobel prize in 1995. For his own engagement in civil courage he received the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2004. He speaks about himself: "I am only a representative of a majority of citizen who have civil courage and who take responsibility, next to politic and economy, as the "Third power" within in the state of Germany".

Living Identities -Holistic Aspects of Identity
"Living Identities " is the dynamic and basically inseparable interpretation of identities
Since everything is continuously changing as appropriately expressed by the German word “Wirklichkeit” for reality, “Living Identitites” shall indicate that “Identities” in the strict sense are “actually” not valid in this context in contrast to the mutilated “Wirklichkeit”, a “Reality” which is based on isolated objectivity, on “things” (lat. res), static substance. Contrary to Classical Physics Modern Physics has revealed that it is, indeed, a “Wirklichkeit” from which our world is created and not the solid foundation of our more familiar, energetic-material-mechanistic Reality on which our world is erected.
expresses that all existence underlies an ongoing change. Therefore, in it's strict meaning, cannot exist what we call identity, if we consider, existence how it expresses the German meaning of "Wirklichkeit". An existence which effects, appears and which relates to time. This kind of reality will be always flowing, and never standstill. In contrast to the more multilate form of reality, which expresses standstill, and which is build on substance.
The modern physics has shown, in contrarty to the classical physcis,that there is an existence ( Wirklichkeit) which has it's source in our cosmos. It's foundation is not the common,energetic-materialistic-mechanistic form of reality.
