European Parliament election 2024 – trends and projections

On Wednesday 17 April 2024 from 7.00pm to 8.00pm CET, Prof Simon Hix and Einstein BUA/Oxford Visiting Fellow Prof Tarik Abou-Chadi will be discussing the European Parliament election 2024 on Zoom.

Die steigende Lebenserwartung und die sinkenden Geburtenraten stellen Gesellschaften weltweit vor große Herausforderungen: Druck auf die Gesundheitssysteme und Ressourcen, Vereinsamung, Folgen für die Wirtschaft und den Arbeitsmarkt. Die Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen erfordert ein umfassendes Konzept, das die Politik, die Gesundheits- und Sozialsysteme, gesellschaftliche Akteure, generationsübergreifende Zusammenarbeit und technologische Innovationen einschließt.

Panel Discussion at Science Week: Erosion of Democracy? Academic Freedom and Right-Wing Politics in Europe

Europe has long called itself a stronghold of democracy. However, the significant increase of populism, authoritarianism, and right-wing politics on a global level has not stopped on its borders: Across Europe, right-wing movements and parties influence political discourse at both national and international levels, endangering democratic principles, such as fair elections, separation of powers, or freedom of speech. This has led to changes not only in the political landscapes of many countries, but also in the field of academia. Attacks on academic freedom have increased, restrictions and limitations on what to research are being established. In, for instance, Hungary, the so-called Orbanization of University is underway. What effect had the rise of right-wing politics on the state of academic freedom and democracy in Europe? What are the factors that have contributed to the increase of right-wing movements and far-right ideologies taking hold? What are potential strategies that could help curb the spread of right-wing populist ideologies to strengthen democratic principles? Tarik Abou-Chadi (University of Oxford / Einstein BUA Oxford Visiting Fellow) and Kriszta Kovács (Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin / Cluster of Excellence  SCRIPTS ) will contribute their expertise and discuss recent political developments together with Matthias Koch (ZEIT-Foundation). The event ist organized in cooperation with the Berlin Center for Global Engagement as part of the Cross-Cutting Theme Internationalization of the Berlin University Alliance and will take place in person at Campus Naturkundemuseum in Berlin. Live-Streaming is available.

Citizens of the World. Academic Freedom in a Global Perspective – 60 Years after President John F. Kennedy’s Speech at Freie Universität Berlin

2023 not only marks the 75th anniversary of Freie Universität Berlin's founding, it is also the 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's iconic speech on the FU campus. Keeping in mind his statement that this university “must be interested in turning out citizens of the world” and his idea of universities as incubators of freedom, this event will look at issues of academic freedom from a historical perspective as well as within today's contexts – and think about how to shape academic freedom in the future.

Happy in Berlin? British Writers in the City, the 1920s and Beyond - Ausstellung und Führung (EN)

Guided tours by the curators focusing on women writers, the gay experience, and psychoanalysis will take visitors to 1920s' Berlin as seen through English eyes.

Falling Walls Circle – Round Table “Science and Politics: Between Independence, Interdependence and Partnership”

Die großen gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit können nicht mehr in Elfenbeintürmen und Hinterzimmern gelöst werden. Vielfältiges Fachwissen und multidirektionaler Austausch werden immer wichtiger. Doch wie kann eine solche Zusammenarbeit funktionieren, ohne die Autonomie der einzelnen Bereiche zu gefährden? Bei dieser Round Table Discussion mit dem Schwerpunkt Wissenschaft und Politik soll untersucht werden, wie wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse umfassend und neutral zugänglich gemacht werden können und wie politische Entscheidungsträger Erfahrungen in die laufende Forschung einbringen können.
