For generations, our home has welcomed leaders, change-makers and doers from all over Europe. It is our family's legacy to uphold this tradition of interaction, connection and building relationships.
This year, Forum Razumovsky is organizing several events, under the theme We need you – you the thinkers, you the artists, you the business leaders, you the policy makers, you the entrepreneurs, you the change-makers – to get together and lay ground for positive transformation.

The Age of Depopulation – Your Voice for the Job Market of the Future 3
The third workshop in our series focuses on “Leading by Example.” To better attract women, elderly people, and immigrants as employees to Austrian companies, their successes need to be made more visible. Business owners must recognize their responsibility and provide these groups with opportunities and platforms. Using best-practice examples, we will explore new approaches that can be implemented in companies.

Music and Dialogue: “Human Interaction – Where Purpose Begins”
The Forum Razumovsky is delighted to welcome Sofia Ros, award-winning Spanish accordionist. She has dedicated her artistry to bringing the transformative power of music to hospitals, senior residences, and care facilities, where her performances create moments of connection and joy for residents and patients alike. She is also deeply committed to music education and regularly leads workshops in schools. Her work invites us to reflect on a central question of the evening: In an increasingly technological world, might our purpose lie in sharing our humanity?
The program will also feature a keynote addressed by writer and philosopher Lisz Hirn. Our Forum String Quartet under the musical direction of Joji Hattori will frame the evening.

Healthier Soils for Future Generations 3
The third workshop in our series “Healthier Soils for Future Generations” focuses on visibility. Farmers’ contributions need to be made more transparent to consumers, as only informed consumers can drive a real shift in societal mindset. To achieve this, they must better understand the true costs of farming and the ecological services it provides. This workshop explores innovative ways and strategies for farmers and food producers to engage more effectively with consumers and create meaningful impact.

The Art of Communication in the Age of Digitalism
Inspired by the great evening “The Art of Communicating Together – A Small School of Democracy” with Professor Pörksen in November 2025, we decided to create a new series of events. The central question will be: What is the the Art of Communication in the Age of Digitalism?
Communication no longer takes place face-to-face; rules of decency and empathy are lost. Especially on social media, siloed thinking prevails, algorithms feed users news from their own echo chambers. So how can users develop critical media literacy and think editorially? How do we reach those who no longer want to be reached? How can democratic thinking be safeguarded?
The kickoff brings together journalists, influencers, scientists, media experts, teachers and students.
