How can scientific research foster international cooperation and drive societal change?
Join us for the next session of Campus Club Adlershof – Future Talks: “Pioneering Sustainable Science”
Globalization brings us all closer together and modern communication allows a free flow of information around the world. However, while talent is distributed equally around the globe, chances and opportunities are not. We face disintegration, national self-interest, and in parts a breaking apart of international cooperation.
In July’s session of Future talks! we will try to illustrate how networks of research facilities bring together a very diverse international scientific community where the mission of the advancement in science is finely intermixed with a firm societal commitment. The importance of international collaboration as a peace-keeping and societal waypaving vehicle is illustrated in the project “Lightsources Meet Their Responsibility" and illustrated by scientific as well as science diplomacy-related projects. Large-scale facilities have always been multi-disciplinary, multi-national melting pots and are therefore the perfect crucible for this task. They are often the crystal nucleus for political and societal cooperations and the source point for international activities, interdisciplinary work and global teamwork.
