Important information!

The foundation ASKO EUROPA-STIFTUNG and European Academy of Otzenhausen will further strengthen their cooperation in the fields of development, preparation and organisation of educational programmes and study visits and therefore combine their forces in the future.

The substantive and project-related work was brought together under the umbrella of European Academy of Otzenhausen at the beginning of 2012. The pooling of activities in Otzenhausen aims to develop European Academy of Otzenhausen further as one of the most modern conference centres of the Greater Region and to extend the educational programmes. This initiative makes sure that synergy effects are exploited and the competence and performance of both the foundation and European Academy are increased.

New directions were also taken in the field of management.

As of December 31, 2011 Stefan Mörsdorf withdrew from the management of the foundation and joined the management of European Academy of Otzenhausen on January 1, 2012.
Eva Wessela withdrew from the management of the Academy on December 31, 2011 and is now Head of the Department of rhetoric, pedagogy and political education. Roswitha Jungfleisch remains on the EAO management board.
Arno Krause ceded the chairmanship of the EAO Committee of Partners to Klaus-Peter Beck, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of ASKO EUORPA-STIFTUNG, on January 1, 2012.
Klaus-Peter Beck, Arno Krause and Klaus Wiegandt will continue to form the Committee of partners of the Academy.

The foundation Forum für Verantwortung, one of the institutions organising the educational initiative "Encouraging sustainability", headed by Dr. Hannes Petrischak as managing director, has as before its seat in the premises of European Academy of Otzenhausen.

ASKO EUROPA-STIFTUNG, European Academy of Otzenhausen and the foundation Forum für Verantwortung therefore consolidate their long-term cooperation and unite their educational work under the umbrella of European Academy of Otzenhausen.
