Reflexion 2023 SDG 1-17
Georg Gratzer, Patrick Scherhaufer and Reinhard Steurer from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna (BOKU) have written a guest commentary in the Standard on the role of science in the climate crisis. In their text, they advocate for science to become more involved in the political discourse in order to be effective. After all, traditional scientific work in the sense of writing papers and presenting research results is not enough.
Event
The symposium negotiates the future of education in times of radical change and brings together national and international actors in the discourse on education to develop radical perspectives on the institution of the university. It asks about the society-building power of the university and illuminates interdisciplinarity as well as the dialogue between art and science in the field of tension of social relevance and responsibility.
