AEMS - Alternative Economic and Monetary Systems

AEMS enables students to citically assess current proposals for an alternative economic system. Apply now via the link below!

Alternative Economic and Monetary Systems (AEMS) is an interdisciplinary summer school focusing on alternatives to the economic status quo. International participants deal with limits of growth, as well as the instabilities of our financial system. They learn why a drastic system change is necessary to reach the target of stabilizing the world climate at 1.5°C and, most importantly, they are prese

nted with an array of innovative approaches. The AEMS comprises a program of lectures, (panel) discussions and workshops and takes place in Vienna. The not-for-profit program is organized as a cooperation project by OeAD student housing, the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU) and the Economy for the Common Good.

57 participants. 28 nations. 5 continents.
Different approaches - a shared vision.

This year's 13th AEMS came to a close last week - looking back, it was full of unforgettable moments:

Throughout the program, our students created a beautiful community of 57 participants from 28 nations - with friendships, connections, and inspirations to last long beyond the summer.

Some highlights included the Open Space Market Place, the Group Project Presentations, the tour to pioneering organizations in Vienna, the public opening event, special movie screening and so much more!

A heartfelt thank you to all our participants, speakers, tutors, partners, supporters, and sponsors for making this possible ❤️
Thanks to you, AEMS once again became a unique learning journey – full of inspiration, exchange, and visions for a sustainable and liveable future 👏🫶

This topic was covered in two group projects as part of this AEMS course.
One of the groups created this video for us.
