EINSTEIN LECTURE #3: Reformrhetorik und autoritäre Dynamik - Wie widerstandsfähig ist die deutsche Wissenschaft?

In the organizer's words:

Around the world, scientific freedom is increasingly being targeted by authoritarian governments. Even in democracies, research is at risk of losing its independence due to political influence. In the USA, for example, the "Executive Order Restoring Gold Standard Science" intervenes deeply in the scientific community - under the pretext of transparency and open science. However, control, thematically controlled funding and data deletion show the risks of ideologized science policy.

We discuss this: Klaus Ferdinand Gärditz (University of Bonn), Johannes Grave (DFG), Walter Rosenthal (HRK) and Armin Willingmann (MWU Saxony-Anhalt).
Moderation: Anna-Lena Scholz(DIE ZEIT).

The panel will examine political instrumentalization, structural weaknesses of democratic protection mechanisms and the responsibility of science itself.
The event will be held in German and admission is free. Registration required via the Einstein Foundation website: https://www.einsteinfoundation.de/veranstaltungen/lecture/einstein-lecture-3
