Science, Academia and Democracy – an Introduction.
The highly interactive workshop aims to clarify the ties between science, academia and democracy. In each of the six meetings the participants take part in a new activity which addresses specific aspects of how science/academia support or obstruct freedom and equality. In addition, the participants discuss the reasons why we as a society are upholding the current scientific system/academic regime and what makes us challenge the status quo by engaging in real-life changes.
Who can attend?
The course is open to any person who is interested in the relation between science and democracy. The number of participants is limited to 20 as this allows for a good interaction/activities/discussion within small groups and within the plenary. We will issue a certificate to everyone who continually participated in the workshop. No ECTS can be credited.
Who organises the workshop? The workshop is jointly organized by Dr.-Ing. André Baier and Dr. Uki Maroshek-Klarman.
