Europe is under pressure—and that pressure has long since reached the everyday lives of its citizens. Particularly in countries such as Germany, certainties once taken for granted are steadily eroding: economic stability, professional security, social cohesion, and political reliability. War on the European continent, geopolitical tensions, uncertainty over future prosperity, rising concerns about security, and an increasingly confrontational political climate have created an environment of permanent strain. What begins as a geopolitical reality ultimately becomes a deeply personal one.
That reality shapes how entrepreneurs invest, how families plan their future, and how individuals assess their careers, financial security, health, and place in the world. Those carrying responsibility today no longer make decisions under conditions of stability, but within an environment of constant friction and uncertainty.
That is precisely why B-Safe26 VIENNA brings together voices such as Prof. DDr. Christian Schubert.
He is one of the leading figures in the field of psychoneuroimmunology in the German-speaking world. A physician, clinical and health psychologist, and psychotherapist, he has spent decades exploring the intricate interplay between the mind, the nervous system, the endocrine system, and the immune system. Schubert’s work addresses one of the defining questions of our time: What happens to human beings when uncertainty becomes a permanent condition? What are the consequences when fear, chronic stress, loss of control, overload, or a lack of meaning no longer affect only the mind, but begin to reshape the body itself?
Since 1995, Schubert has headed the Laboratory for Psychoneuroimmunology at the Medical University of Innsbruck. His research is grounded in a holistic understanding of the human being—not as a collection of isolated biological functions, but as a highly interconnected system in which physical health, emotional resilience, social relationships, personal biography, and chronic stress continuously influence one another.
Rather than focusing solely on laboratory parameters, Schubert studies real life: crises and routines, relationships and recovery, patterns of stress and their measurable physiological consequences. In doing so, he places a crucial question at the centre of today’s security debate—one that is too often overlooked: How resilient is the individual who must ultimately cope with all these developments?
B-Safe26 seeks to provide its participants with a sound foundation for making better decisions about their businesses, their families, their careers, their health, and their personal future. The objective is not to create fear, but to foster clarity—to strengthen the ability to assess risks soberly, understand complex interdependencies, and remain capable of decisive action.
Within this context, Prof. DDr. Christian Schubert contributes an indispensable perspective. Security is not defined solely by governments, technology, capital, energy, or infrastructure. It also begins with the individual—and with the question of whether sustained pressure leads to exhaustion and illness, or becomes the foundation for renewed resilience and stability.
