Chat

90 minutes
First come first serve
Disinterest and increasing scepticism towards science and democracy lead us to the question of what we can do to restore trust in these crucial factors. The results of a recent study relating to the causes of science and democracy scepticism conducted by the Institute for Advanced Studies will be discussed along with the role of science communication.
