This semester, the lecture series Hamburger Perspektiven zur Klimaforschung will focus on climate protection. The series is a joint event with the Max Placnk Institute for Meteorology and it marks the institute’s 50th anniversary. The institute and the University of Hamburg have long enjoyed close ties. Different perspectives, historical considerations, and current research findings comprehensively illuminate complex issues.
Student Council (AStA) is coordinating the lecture series Reclaiming Tomorrow, which focuses on the challenges posed by the climate crisis, and an online lectures series on the protection and sustainable exploitation of our oceans and coastal regions provides a glimpse into the research expedition sustainMare run by the German Marine Research Alliance.
Further lecture series focus on other current topics: The series Taming the Machines—AI: Social Foundations and Ethical Responsibility looks at sociopolitical responsibility when dealing with AI. The lecture “Eine andere Welt ist möglich?!” focuses on movements in which non-violence has led to change and provides starting points for further discussion.
Other topics include psychological distress in children and adolescents in crisis situations, the power of language, and interdisciplinary perspectives on landscapes and ecology. Yet another lecture series highlights events, experiences, and interpretations of the end of World War II in 1945 in Europe. There will also be lectures flanking the exhibition in the Museum of Medical History.
The public can take part and discuss with experts. See the Center for Continuing Education homepage for the complete program.
The lectures are free and you can also attend individual lectures.
