Community
The Inspiration Forum is an opportunity for us to discover new perspectives and communicate with each other. That's why we bring together people from different disciplines, from the humanities and sciences, technology and media to art and film. Since 2011, we have welcomed a number of global thinkers, scientists, local activists and artists to Jihlava, as well as those who do not normally receive media attention. Meet the people who have inspired us over the years.
