Motivation Motto and Guiding Principles
“Felix, qui potest rerum cognoscere causas” (Virgil) - “Fortunate is s/he, who is able to know the causes of things”. In my position, I am privileged in many different ways: I am allowed to observe, to explore, to think, to ask questions, to discuss, to challenge and to learn in the quest for understanding, knowledge and truth. In our academic field it is not possible to do this in an ivory tower or golden cage. You have to be out there in the field, talking to people and exchanging ideas with like-minded people. I invite you to join me in that colourful and exiting journey.
