Press release
Academy for Intercultural Dialogue has been founded in Berlin Germany
Wassilia Foutiadou -- Academy Administrator
A badly needed contribution to intercultural peacekeeping is being made by this interdisciplinary activity, as has been affirmed by Peter Ruof, co-founder of the Carl-Duisberg Society in New York, Jochen Hippler, political scientist and counsellor of the German Federal Foreign Office, Robert Pitz-Paal, physicist at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Wolfram R. Bauer, theologian and founder of the Civilisations Matter Group, on the occasion of the Academy’s first configuration meeting in Berlin. By 2010 the Academy for Intercultural Dialogue is due to take up its public activities on a site and with a program, both designed especially for this purpose.
The Greek Wassilia Fotiadou was elected first administrator. At the Technical University of Darmstadt she had initiated and built up the field of interdisciplinary gender studies. Together with the scientific director to be appointed yet, she will support the co-operation with initiatives standing for a common global future.
