For this episode, we had our fteval colleague Harald Wieser from KMU Forschung Austria as a guest, and we addressed these questions, among others:
What are missions?
Why are cities important for transformation towards sustainability?
What were the results of the evaluation of the City of Tomorrow Programme?
And what will change for the evaluation when programmes become missions?
What does this mean for the fteval Platform?
Harald argues for the creation of learning spaces so that we as a society can cultivate sustainable practices together. In this entertaining conversation we found out how this can work.
