Europe

Our projects anticipate the reality of a unified Europe and convey the potential of the common union, in particular in those countries where, at present, EU programmes cannot yet be implemented. We seek contact with and the enthusiasm of young people.

We know that it is essential to take a constructive and critical approach to investigating and documenting Europe’s recent history, especially when developing such ambitious visions for the future. We thus promote and support networks that document knowledge, experiences and memories and make them accessible across borders.

  Ursula's motto is that happiness is not a state to arrive in, but a manner of travelling. Well, certainly she has done plenty of the latter. While born and raised in Austria, Ursula has lived and worked all over the map - literally! Luxembourg, Grenoble, Paris, Athens have proven to be a valuable detour to finally arrive at ERSTE Foundation in 2005.

  Robin worked for a thinktank in Berlin, then in Istanbul, when he decided to make his workplace a desk at ERSTE Foundation’s Programme Europe in 2007. An economic historian by training, he oversees civil society initiatives on journalism, media, education and socio-economic research. He represents ERSTE Foundation in the Steering Group of the Grantmakers East Forum, a forum for interlinking donor activities in Central and Southeastern Europe.

  Knut tries to follow Peter Druckers quote "Do the right thing. Do the things right.", knowing that this is a lifelong project. On a daily basis he works on the development of Programme Europe, quality management of projects and the establishment of internal and external networks.

  Born in Podgorica, Montenegro, Filip then grew up in places with strong local dialects: Munich, San Antonio and Vienna! Hardly surprising he chose to focus on semiotics in his doctoral thesis. His knowledge in media psychology is of great value in building up ERSTE Foundation Community, an initiative that gathers some 100 people from the fields of art, research and NGOs, to exchange ideas, create synergies and contribute with innovative impulses to the work of the Foundation in the framework of the European Forum Alpbach every year.
