Disclosure (§ 25 MedienG)

Media owner of world-wide.org: Science Communications Worldwide - Verein zur weltweiten Verbreitung wissenschaftlicher Kommunikation, an association without share capital or equity owners, with its seat in Klosterneuburg, Austria. The board and association purpose are disclosed in Section 1. Fundamental orientation (grundlegende Richtung): a non-commercial information and editorial service of the association reporting on, hosting, and indexing scientific events, scholarly work, research opportunities, and matters affecting the research community across scientific domains. The website serves no party-political purpose and carries no advertising. Because its editorial content can contribute to public opinion, World Wide applies the full disclosure standard in § 25(2)–(4) MedienG rather than the reduced personal-presentation exception in § 25(5).

Other media ownership interests of the people named above are not recorded in the ZVR extract. Current officer declarations are still needed to complete the separate disclosure required by § 25(3) MedienG. We have not yet verified whether there are other media ownership interests.
