The forum offers space for public discourse with regular public events, dialog projects, excursions, book presentations and other formats at the interface between science and art, but also between theory and practice. The institute's own online magazine "Syntopia Alpina" publishes articles from various disciplines. They deal with the future of Alpine regions and with sustainable initiatives in the interaction of various demands on the shared space, for example in Alpine farming, resource use, biodiversity or climate protection. The Cultural Writers' Studio enables scholarship holders to engage with culture in the transit area of Uri. The "Uri in dialog" project strengthens the exchange between research, politics and local society.
