• Viola Christian (Ban Ki-moon Center for Global Citizens): A chan­ge­ma­ker at heart, Viola has work­ed in the pu­blic sec­tor, the pri­va­te sec­tor, the start-​up, and the NGO scene, al­ways de­ve­lo­ping and im­ple­men­ting pro­jects for the com­mon good on a local and glo­bal level. At the Ban Ki-​moon Cent­re for Glo­bal Ci­ti­zens, she is de­di­ca­ted to fos­te­ring the em­power­ment of women and youth by en­cou­ra­ging them to take on a glo­bal ci­ti­zen mind­set and to con­tri­bu­te to the achie­vement of the Sus­tain­able De­ve­lo­p­ment Goals. As a child, Viola pre­fer­red the fo­rest and back yard over the class­room to learn what it means to act as a glo­bal ci­ti­zen.
• Jesus Crespo Cuaresma (WU Vienna): Head of the WU Vi­en­na In­sti­tu­te for Ma­cro­e­co­no­mics; di­rec­tor of eco­no­mic ana­ly­sis at the Witt­gen­stein Cent­re for De­mo­gra­phy and Glo­bal Human Ca­pi­tal; con­sul­tant for the World Bank and WIFO. Jesus par­ti­cu­lar­ly en­joys lec­tu­ring on Eco­no­metrics and Ma­cro­e­co­no­mics, wears Star Wars and Iron Mai­den t-​shirts to class and can be often found at night in Vi­en­na at­ten­ding con­certs of bands you’ve never heard of.
• Gillian Joanne Foster (WU Vienna): Re­se­ar­cher and e-​Developer at the WU Vi­en­na In­sti­tu­te for Eco­lo­gi­cal Eco­no­mics; CLIC Pro­ject Re­se­ar­cher; ex­pert on tea­ching with di­gi­tal tools in sus­tai­na­bi­li­ty edu­ca­ti­on.
• Benjamin Seyer (WU Vienna): Ben­ja­min is about to fi­nish his B.A. in In­ter­na­tio­nal Busi­ness Ad­mi­nis­tra­ti­on at WU Vi­en­na. At the sus­tai­na­bi­li­ty de­part­ment of ÖH WU, he is re­spon­si­ble for hel­ping or­ga­ni­ze events like this one. He also en­joys ta­king cour­ses in psy­cho­ana­ly­sis at Uni Wien and using his long­board as a sus­tain­able mean of trans­por­ta­ti­on (es­pe­cial­ly when it is sunny out­si­de).
• Johanna Warm (WU Vienna): Staff mem­ber at WU Vi­en­na Tea­ching and Lear­ning Ser­vices; works with Mas­si­ve Open On­line Mo­du­les (MOOMs) and Tea­ching & Lear­ning Aca­de­my (TLAc), among other pro­jects. Jo­han­na en­joys working on cross-​institutional in­ter­na­tio­nal pro­jects, pro­mo­ting re­se­arch on tea­ching and the be­au­ty of di­dac­tics.
• Milda Zilinskaite (WU Vienna, discussion moderator): Se­ni­or sci­en­tist, lec­tu­rer and Cen­ter Ma­na­ger at STaR. Milda very much looks for­ward to tal­king to the pa­nelists, whom she knows to be not just top ex­perts in their fields, pas­sio­na­te about pro­mo­ting sus­tain­able de­ve­lo­p­ment, but also fa­sci­na­ting per­so­na­li­ties!
