Workshop in Co-Operation with Forschung Austria
at the European Forum Alpbach 2022, Alpbach

26. August 2022, 15:00 – 18:00 Uhr, Böglerhof – Fichtensaal

In our societies, development processes used to be based on facts and our acts grounded in knowledge. In the past few years, “alternative” facts have taken hold in many areas, like climate change or the current pandemic. We will discuss how science in general and applied research in particular can again focus on facts instead of emotions. How to communicate science, what about the Third Mission?
