> You are invited to participate in an international workshop on

> organised around such questions as the following:
>
> 1) Is industrial capitalism inevitably caught on a treadmill which
> drives it towards collapse, or is an ecologically sustainable modern
> society a feasible option?
> 2) Can we open up and revitalise the social sciences in order to find
> innovative approaches for diagnosing environmental predicaments?
> 3) Can we overcome the environmental crises by making use of the
> potentialities of modernity or should we have to leave the path of
> enlightenment modernity for something else?
> 4) To what extent are local, national or international (especially
> EU) policies able to develop strategies for ecological modernisation?
