Dr. Swantje Möller, Dr. Tilman Eckloff, and Dr. Niels van Quaquebeke
were, for instance, appointed as ThinkTank members of the Stiftung Neue Verantwortung in Berlin. Their topics varied from perspectives on "the future of teacher education" and "how to create a more creative society" to "a redefinition of public leadership in Germany". The result were different policy briefs and books that can be downloaded from the ThinkTanks website http://www.stiftung-nv.de. We are happy to report that this year too two members of our group were again appointed to the ThinkTank of the Stiftung Neue Verantwortung : Dorothee Vogt will work on the topic of "a new culture of wealth" and Julia Johannsen on the topic of "excellent campuses". Likewise Jan Borkowski and Matthias Graf were invited as "leaders of tomorrow" for the Knowledge Pool of the 41. St. Gallen
