scholarium is a learning enterprise founded in Vienna, but now based in Zug, Switzerland. It is one of the last remaining research centers where the original Austrian School of economics is alive, boasting the largest library on this tradition in Europe. The Austrian school is frequently misunderstood as an ideological program, while it is in fact a research tradition closely linked to other traditions arising in the old Vienna – formerly one of the most important hubs of science, culture and entrepreneurship. What makes the Austrian School special is its realistic, no-nonsense approach, its philosophical scope, and its focus on entrepreneurship and the dynamics of complex systems. This research tradition in its original scope and depth cannot be studied at university, because it is interdisciplinary and has to be applied to real-life, entrepreneurial decisions. scholarium offers a limited number of selected participants a unique educational program, where they can develop, with the support of some of the best brains and tools and through entrepreneurial projects, practical experiments and profound reflection, the necessary skills and ideas to create real value. Our educational program is a systematic reality check, always intent to build real things and develop real solutions, as scholarium is an enterprise and not an agency, program or school. In view of the hugely distorted markets its shareholders do not strive to pocket quick profits but to develop a unique entrepreneurial laboratory to find feasible, small-scale solutions for tomorrow’s problems.
