Austrian media manager Gerhard Zeiler, after leaving the American media group Warner, is founding a new Zukunftsinstitut, referred to as Institut 2035. The decision came after he gave up — at least for now — his ambitions to run for the position of chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ). ORF ↗
The new institute is meant to function as a think tank focused on finding solutions to the major questions facing Europe. Through this platform, Zeiler wants to develop political and social proposals, although his further involvement in party politics is not yet ruled out. Der Standard ↗
Zeiler is one of the prominent figures in Austria's media and political landscape. After ending his tenure at Warner, he was originally linked to the possibility of taking over the leadership of the SPÖ. However, these ambitions have ended, or at least been postponed, while his interest in public affairs persists.
The media manager also ruled out founding his own political party. Institut 2035 is thus meant to be a civic and analytical platform, not the basis for a new political entity. Its goal will be to discuss the future of Europe and prepare proposals on issues that go beyond the framework of a single party.
Details about the institute's organizational structure, funding, and start of operations have not yet been provided. Zeiler's further public activity will therefore be associated mainly with the new platform and its planned agenda.
