    Democracy under pressure = Science under pressure? Should we, or even must we, take a stand?
    13:00 o'clock

    We are living in times of social polarisation. Anti-democratic tendencies, rejection of scientific expertise and hostility towards scientists are on the rise. Many people are asking themselves: What can I actually do? And what responsibility do scientific institutions bear? We want to discuss these questions together with experts from the fields of science and science communication, as well as HZB’s scientific director.

    📅 28 September 2026, 1.00–3.00 pm
