“Over the past decade, I have worked with Andrea Roman Sorg on several occasions as part of the NZZ Podium Europa, which he invented and, as a consequence, I have had an ongoing, very lively discussion with him. Above all, I was impressed by his singular talent for staging intellectual events: he has an acute sense for intriguing topics, for productive configurations of speakers and panelists, and for event forms that keep even large audiences both attentive and entertained. Politically, intellectually and even financially, I would sure bet on the formats designed by Andrea Roman Sorg.”
