Science Under Stress

meet up
Why is science not a luxury, but an essential element of our democracy? Looking at the United States shows how attacks against democratic institutions are closely connected to attacks on the freedom of science and education — on universities, research, and even the idea that there are verifiable facts and reasons.
The Institut Pierre Werner organizes an evening dedicated to this topic. Professor Georg Mein will open the event with an address inspired by his book 'Das Prinzip Universität – Warum Demokratie Wissenschaft braucht.' He will then discuss with Professor Rolf Tarrach, former rector of the University of Luxembourg, about academic freedom, how the public sphere changes in the digital era, and the role of universities when the distinction between justification and assertion is politically undermined. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Isabell Eva Baumann (LUCET, University of Luxembourg).
