publically

Presenter
Dr. Joachim Hamberger

Science is committed to the idea of truth, the new American government is not. That is why there are conflicts there over the funding of science and research - with considerable consequences for Europe too. Dr. Joachim Hamberger therefore dedicates his public lecture to science in the age of emotional opinion and populist politics.

The lecture deals with the current situation in the USA and explains what consequences it has for research, the economy and society - including here in Europe.

Admission is free, no registration necessary.
