This jubilee volume celebrating 150 years of the University of Natural resources and Life Sciences, Vienna contains contributions from nearly all areas of BOKU – from people at BOKU who help shape its operation, constitute it and are responsible for enabling its successful development into one of Europe’s leading life sciences universities. Past, present and future are examined in the spirit of the anniversary motto “Featuring Future”. A tour through organisation, research, studies, and the professional world, third mission and social responsibility – critical, well-founded, and visionary; supplemented by a view from the outside, namely the incredibly inspiring ceremonial speeches by the writer Olga Flor and the philosopher Konrad Paul Liessmann.
