Example Morocco: Re-profiling cities or regions by developing their (new ) identity

What is a „Multiversity“ ?• A group organised by the New Club of Paris (NCP) initiated by G. Koch met in autumn 2008 (!) at Commerzbank Headquarter Frankfurt (G. Szogs) to first time discuss a new university concept under the headline „Multiversity“

• The NCP idea was on reformation / substitution of university. (NCP Discussion has been taken up by the European Academy of Science on university reformation)

• Aalto (University) Campus of Society Innovation (ACSI) started in 2010 a new „education for innovation“ project under the participation of NCP. Major impulse for the „Multiversity“.

• Multiversity - as a term – was first time introduced by President of the (entire) Universities of California (UC) Clark Kerr in 1963 (!):

„The ‚Idea of a University‘ was a village with its priests. The ‚Idea of a Modern University‘ was a town with intellectual oligarchy. The ‚Idea of a Multiversity is a city of infinite variety… This city is more like the totality of civilization as it has evolved… and movement to and from the surrounding society…“

Why Humboldt KOSMOS University (HKU)?

Kosmos is the German word for Cosmos. A.v.Humboldt’s œuvre had the complete title “Kosmos – Entwurf einer physischen Weltbeschreibung” (“Cosmos – the attempt of a physical description of the world”).

Alexander v. Humboldt as a symbolic figure• He and his brother Wilhelm took majorInfluence on the European university education system• He was a real universal and internationalscientist mastering a multitude of disciplines and offering a „grand view“ of the world • He combined on-spot empirical research with systematicscientific classifications and anaylysing relations cross disiplines • He fostered to move South and Middle America in emancipatedself recognition and to become interested in modern science• He used Tenerife as his base and training camp on his first four years‘ research excursion• He started at the age of 57 to compile his life œvre during > 30 years, i.e. was performing main science work in elder age

Amongst those having createdkey œvres in Vienna CoffeeHouses, some even changing the world, were persons such as• Theodor Herzl • Leo Trotzki• Wladimir Iljitsch Lenin• Adolf Hitler• Josif Stalin• Oskar Kokoschka• Robert Musil …

The Vienna Coffee House has aleways been a true stem cell for creating new ideas, concepts, poems, literature, political declarations, etc …

It is an incubator within an ethnic and cultural melting pot.

Coffee Houses as think tanks serve as incubators

Incubation e.g. for inventing the City of Tomorrow goes with creativty, bohemian attitudes, critical discourse, …
