Dynamic changes are shaping global relations and posing urgent, far-reaching challenges to international scientific systems. Academic openness und security are being called into question, while the global mobility of researchers is increasing. The call for dialogue is more urgent than ever before, but existing instruments of science diplomacy are increasingly becoming a controversial issue of discussion. Moreover, the legitimacy of science and research as forms of knowledge production is being questioned. How can German and European academic institutions define their position? These questions have been discussed on October 9 at an event at Brucerius Law School. The event was hosted by the University of Hamburg, Bucerius Law School, the ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS, and the Hamburg Institute for Advanced Study (HIAS).
IFSH Director Prof. Dr Ursula Schröder discussed with Marcelo Knobel, Managing Director of the World Academy of Sciences, Jan Marco Müller, Coordinator for Science Diplomacy and Multilateral Relations at the European Commission's Directorate-General Research and Innovation, Anke Reiffenstuel, Director for Education and Science Diplomacy at the German Federal Foreign Office, and Maria Rentetzi, Professor at the University of Erlangen/Nuremberg.
