Institute "Kulturen der Alpen"

Founded in 2019, the "Kulturen der Alpen" Institute explores the full spectrum of themes related to the unique characteristics of the Alpine region—from prehistoric artifacts to specific traditions and contemporary challenges. The institute takes a focus on cultural and social sciences while embracing a transdisciplinary approach, fostering exchanges with natural sciences and the arts.

Operating as an independent institute affiliated with the University of Lucerne, it is headquartered in Uri. Beyond its research endeavors, the institute serves as a hub for mediation:

  • Bridging the approaches of natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences
  • Connecting scientific knowledge with empirical insights and artistic perspectives
  • Fostering dialogue across academic, cultural, and political spheres
