The following academics and experts addressed the Conference: Sabine Strasser (METU Ankara), Valerie Amiraux (Université de Montreal), Nora Gresch, Sieglinde Rosenberger, Leyla Hadj-Abdou (Vienna University), Karin Bischof, Karin Stoegner, Florian Oberhuber (Institute of Conflict Research), Lydia Potts (University of Oldenburg), Barbara Thoth (Der Falter), Stefanie Mayer, Elisabeth Röhrlich, Gertraud Diendorfer (Demokratiezentrum Wien), and Cengiz Günay (ÖIIP).
