during the final preparation of next week, I came up with a new name for your institution that really rocks: IRIS – an acronym for Institute for the Identification of Relevant Issues of Society. one the one hand, it gives a clear idea what it is about, on the other hand it is a great metapher with regards to LOOKING for issues. how do you observe/look for something? - with the help of your iris !! – I really like it :)

the only downside is that you should not use an iris as logo (if we make one) - think that reminds people on big brother (or the former Wiener Südbahnhof...)
