Anyone can point at a complex problem with technical policy and say, 'Something must be done!' It's not enough to do something - we must do something good. That's where Epicenter.works comes in: they unpack the complex, intersecting forces at the heart of the problem and produce proposals that are both effective and technical.

Before my trial began, there were hardly any voices in Austria that named my prosecution for what it was: politically motivated because of the Ibiza video. I’m very grateful that the people from epicenter.works had the courage to address and prove this publicly and clearly right from the start. It certainly involved a considerable risk for the independent association, but in the end it turned the tide of public debate and opinion.
