Alternative Economic and Monetary Systems is an interdisciplinary summer university program focusing on innovative approaches for a social-ecological transformation: International participants learn about limits to growth and the instabilities of our financial system. They get to know why a drastic system change is necessary to stabilize our world climate. And most importantly: they are introduced to an array of alternative approaches, such as sovereign money, the Economy for the Common Good, degrowth, working time reduction, ethical banking and more! AEMS 2026 will take place from 13th to 31st July in Vienna, Austria. WHY AEMS? There is overwhelming evidence, that the current economic model based on the idea of everlasting economic growth is destroying our planet and contributing to the global climate crisis. AEMS offers an overview on economic alternatives that considers ecology and society as equal parts of the equation. Would you like to discover innovative approaches for a more sustainable economy in a multicultural group with like-minded people? Apply at www.summer-university.net!
