🔬 Science (in) Crises? – Highlights & Videos
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to and attended the Young Marsilius Fellows’ final event, “Science (in) Crises? The Role of Science in Society: Past, Present, and Future.” With engaging presentations and thought-provoking discussions, the event became an inspiring interdisciplinary exchange on the role of science in times of crisis.
Over the course of the event, participants explored the benefits, limitations, and practical challenges of science in times of crisis. The programme featured keynotes, plenary discussions, an interactive social simulation, and a panel discussion. Together, these sessions examined the topic from a wide range of perspectives across the natural sciences, life sciences, humanities, and social sciences.
