The Role of International Science Cooperation in Disruptive Times

Veranstaltungen anzeigen

Panel discussion with international experts on the urgent challenges to science systems worldwide in disruptive times.

Dynamic change is striking global relations around the world, causing urgent and profound challenges to international science systems. Political power shifts across and in many regions and the increase in populist, autocratic, and anti-democratic factions are leading to a recalibration of alliances in global science cooperation. Academic openness and security are being challenged while the global circulation of researchers is increasing.

The call for dialogue is more urgent than ever, yet existing tools of science diplomacy are becoming an increasingly controversial topic of discussion or appear to be losing efficacy.
Moreover, the legitimacy of science and research as a form of knowledge production has come under scrutiny. How can European and German academic institutions position themselves accordingly and develop timely and future-forward global science policies?

The University of Hamburg, the Bucerius Law School, the ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS and the Hamburg Institute for Advanced Study cordially invite you to participate in this panel event.

We will discuss these questions with the following international experts:
