The Disputes
At the heart of the Amerang Dispute lies the constructive discussion about the future of Western industrialised societies.

The Ernst Freiberger Foundation invites renowned experts from all areas of society for a fertile discussion over the best solutions at hand. The results of these debates are presented to the general public.
