Lecture Series: Future Impulses in the Work of Rudolf Steiner

An interdisciplinary event series marking the 100th anniversary of death at Alanus University, on site and online!

How future-viable is “Steiner,” who is primarily known as the founder of anthroposophy? How can his impulses in a wide variety of areas of life such as education, agriculture, architecture, and health be translated into the present and the future? On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his death on March 30, 2025, Alanus University in Alfter near Bonn invites you to this interdisciplinary lecture series for an exciting reappraisal of his ideas. On a sound academic basis, experts from philosophy, Waldorf education, eurythmy, art therapy, medicine, and business will discuss the relevance of anthroposophy in current and future contexts in keynote lectures and then invite the audience to exchange ideas. On site and online.
