Just now – in the light of the current financial and economic crisis and intensive efforts for achieving economic growth – the question emerges which kind of growth we want for the future and which goals are targeted with it. The project “Growth in Transition” intends to trigger a dialogue among institutions and people about how we can shape this transformation process towards sustainability. It also aims at contributing to current EU and international processes and at informing the Austrian public about them (e.g. the EU initiative “Beyond GDP”).

The project operates under the umbrella brand “Growth in Transition”. This brand covers different institutions that organize activities that all focus on the same core issue but from different angles.

SERI and Karuna Consult developed a presentation of arguments called “What kind of growth is sustainable?” that forms the basis for deeper and on-going discussion.
