About Us

The Prammer Institute is a dynamic and future-oriented research and innovation hub dedicated to addressing some of the most pressing global challenges of our time. Based in Vienna, Austria, the institute was founded with the vision of bridging the gap between knowledge and practice, research and implementation, local action and international collaboration.

Our expertise spans a wide range of fields including Artificial Intelligence (AI), youth empowerment, sustainable fashion and circular economy, education innovation, digital transformation, human rights advocacy, and social innovation. We believe that meaningful progress can only be achieved through interdisciplinary approaches and strong partnerships, and therefore we actively collaborate with NGOs, academic institutions, businesses, and policymakers across Europe and beyond.

Our Mission

At the core of the Prammer Institute lies a mission to create inclusive, ethical, and innovative solutions that empower individuals, communities, and organizations. We strive to:

  • Ensure that technological advancements, particularly in Artificial Intelligence, are accessible, ethical, and aligned with human rights and democratic values.
  • Invest in youth as agents of change, providing them with the education, tools, and skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing digital world.
  • Promote sustainability in industries such as fashion and design by fostering responsible innovation and encouraging circular economic models.
  • Support lifelong learning and non-formal education methodologies to strengthen civic engagement and social cohesion.
  • Drive international cooperation through EU-funded programs, fostering the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and innovative approaches across borders.

Our Expertise

The Prammer Institute has established itself as a leader in several interrelated areas of research and practice:

Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation

We focus on both the opportunities and challenges of AI, analyzing its potential to revolutionize labor markets, education, healthcare, and creative industries.

Our work emphasizes:

AI literacy and training, equipping citizens, especially young people, with the skills to understand and critically engage with AI.

Ethical AI development, ensuring that technological progress respects privacy, transparency, fairness, and inclusivity.

AI in education, where we investigate how digital tools can enhance learning, bridge inequalities, and support teachers in delivering modern, adaptive education.

Policy engagement, contributing to EU-level dialogues and strategies on responsible AI governance.

Youth Empowerment and Education

With the world's youth population exceeding 1.2 billion, representing 16% of the global population (UN data, 2023), the future of our societies depends on their empowerment.

The Prammer Institute specializes in capacity building for young leaders, equipping them with both hard and soft skills, and non-formal civic education such as simulations, workshops, and cross-border exchanges.

Digital citizenship, helping youth understand their role in democratic societies shaped by digital technologies.

EU values promotion, including human rights, social inclusion, diversity, and sustainability.
