positioning

According to its own definition, the Momentum Institute wants to be a "think tank of the many" as an agenda for you and me in contrast to other Austrian think tanks.

Medium moment

The medium of the moment is intended to disseminate the content-related goals developed by the Momentum Institute along its editorial guidelines. Editorial manager Tom Schaffer described the editorial line as follows:

“We are progressive . There are certainly left-wing attitudes in many respects , but there are also many liberal elements [...] We say progressive to this - also because the word is not as biased as "left". You don't immediately find yourself in a drawer. For many people, "left" also means a more rigid picture of the world than we actually want to convey. "

The resources are a homepage, a YouTube channel, newsletters, interviews, cartoons and other journalistic instruments (for example the weekly " Post from Hanna " or moderated chat discussions).

Tool parlagram

According to the newspaper Die Zeit , which had the idea on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the German Bundestag , the written stenographic transcripts of the plenary sessions of the Austrian National Council from 1945 to 2018 have been systematically searchable on the basis of open data with the Parlagram . Such tools can be used especially for linguistic discourse analysis and political science research.
