SCRIPTS Midterm Conference 2023 © Patricia Kalisch
The topics you are both researching suggest a great diversity ...
Börzel: Our motto at SCRIPTS is excellence through diversity. For us, diversity in research is not a contradiction to excellence, but through diversity we achieve excellence.
You say that diversity is also reflected in the people who conduct research with you and their different perspectives. Is it easier in Berlin than elsewhere to bring many different minds together?
Börzel: The idea of achieving excellence through cooperation is a key reason why colleagues choose Berlin, especially those from abroad. Those who come to Berlin also do so because of the opportunity to conduct excellent research across disciplines. We have attracted a large number of international researchers here, including from the so-called Global South or, as we call it, from regions that are underrepresented in science.
Ich finde, dass wir damit zur Attraktivität des Wissenschaftsstandort Berlin beitragen und die Stadtgesellschaft bereichern!
Mrs. Börzel, Mrs. Klüver, thank you very much for the interview!
