All Means Towards Science

Different paths. The same people we want in the rooms. New valuable knowledge and its responsible implementation is the very best way into the future. The 2026 Symposium gathers everyone who shares that conviction and isn't willing to wait until graduation to act on it.

01 / Who

Different paths.
The same convictions.

Special people from universities in Munich and beyond. The 2026 Symposium isn't built for one discipline or one degree. It is built for the people we recognise across very different paths: those who want to learn, grow, and really contribute, and who aren't willing to wait until their studies are over to do so.

I.

We share drives.

Students who want to learn, grow, and really contribute — and who refuse to put that on hold until after graduation.

II.

We share fears.

A degree that goes out of date in the time it takes to earn it. Strong technical knowledge, weak decision-making. Which problem are you deliberately choosing to work on?

III.

We share convictions.

New valuable knowledge and its responsible implementation is the very best way into the future. Most of our resources should go into the research and application of that knowledge.

02 / The Themes

Three reimaginings.
One evening.

The work of #class25 — and the conversations of the evening — turn on three questions about the future we are building. Each runs across the cohort's research, the speakers' talks, and the booths and rooms after the break.

I.

Reimagining Human Wellbeing

From environmental integrity to health to sustainability: not just cleaning up, but maintaining what supports life — at systemic levels, continuously.

II.

Reimagining Intelligence

What we expect machines to know, and what we still expect ourselves to learn. Possibility, learning, and the alignment of both.

III.

Reimagining Cooperation

How groups, generations, and societies coordinate. Interconnection between people who already share a path; alignment between people who don't.

03 / The Cohort · #class25

Five teams,
three reimaginings.

Reimagining Human Wellbeing

01 / Clean Stream Team

Clean Stream

Human wellbeing & environmental integrity. Not just cleaning up pollution but ensuring fundamental environmental resources like water are continuously maintained at optimal quality — substances prevented, monitored, and controlled at systemic levels.
