by: Inge Siegl - AustriaProgram: Alternative Economic and Monetary Systems Summer UniversityThere was a great variety of lectures. Lecturers had a lot of different backgrounds and shared their real life knowledge. We did a lot of simulation games were we gathered own experiences how it feels to be in certain economic situations where you have to make decisions. The location and facilities were also very nice! And Vienna is always worth a visit.
