WISSEN SCHAFFT: Reflection & Controversy
A new event series on what makes science
Our first event on "Leisure, curiosity, autonomy - Was does good science need?" was held June 28, 2022.
We were very happy to welcome 50 guests and more than 20 speakers for our first fishbowl debate. Thank you to everyone who attended and adhered to our principles for a discussion that was collegial, concise, and open to controversy.
