The Waldzell Meetings at Melk Abbey
In 2004 Andreas Salcher founded together with Gundula Schatz the „Waldzell Meetings“ at Melk Abbey in Lower Austria, which have grown into an internationally acclaimed dialog between artists, moral authorities, and scientists. Having presented the fourth round of annual meetings, Waldzell can boast a list of speakers that includes seven Nobel laureates, spiritual leaders such as the Dalai Lama, artists like Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Paulo Coelho, Frank Gehry, Isabel Allende, along with some of the foremost scientists of our time such as Robert Gallo, Carl Djerassi, Paul Nurse, Gunter Blobel, Kary Mullis, Craig Venter, and Anton Zeilinger. After the fourth Waldzell Meeting in 2007, which met with a very positive reception at both national and international level, Dr. Salcher decided to leave Waldzell and launch a new project with the working title "THE CURRICULUM PROJECT - Creating the Schools of Tomorrow".

THE CURRICULUM PROJECT
After the fourth Waldzell Meeting in 2007, which also met with a very positive reception, Dr. Salcher decided to launch a new
project with the working title "THE CURRICULUM PROJECT - Creating the Schools of Tomorrow". The mission of this new project is
to reinvent the school of tomorrow in cooperation with the world's brightest minds. He has the vision to narrow the gap between
the contents children all over the world learn everyday at school and those they would actually need for their future. His book THE TALENTED KID AND HIS ENEMIES, which came out in March 2008, is the first element of this new project. Recently, the book was published in South Korea and Poland.
