9. Think Tank and Master Workshops
**Think Tank and Master Workshops - A Concept of Educational & Entrepreneurial Excellence by Prof. em. Dr. Jürgen Zimmer**
From time to time the School for Life will organize a Think Tank, a place for the development of unusual approaches and ideas, a place for nurturing sudden impulses and contemplating their possibilities, a place for inventive dialog between scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, and maverick thinkers. Internationally known personalities, leaders in their fields, will be invited here - to forge ideas together. The discourse serves to transmit and analyze key regional and global questions and invent future solutions.
The members of the Think Tank will be invited to give Master Workshops to particularly gifted and motivated students, working together with the Centers. This could involve, for instance, the composition of music for a CD, or working up ethical standards for genetic technology, meditation or philosophical studies, insights into the research of biospheres, drawing up architectural drafts for building with bamboo or handling problems in processing pineapple stalks to textile products. The experts can suggest a topic to which they themselves are eager to devote their attention, and which incites student interest, challenging them without overtaxing their capabilities, and which can correspond in some way to the curricula of the Centers or at least create a productive dialectic with them.
