Science and universities have a central role and responsibility in dealing with major societal challenges of our time. Knowledge exchange between academia and society is thus increasingly becoming an important part of research and knowledge production.

The event “Researching with Society: International Perspectives” on November 20, 2024 at Hermann von Helmholtz-Zentrum für Kulturtechnik welcomes all researchers, members of BUA institutions and interested science-related organizations to explore approaches and impact of participatory research and public engagement, discuss civic responsibilities of universities and network with partners from the University of Oxford.
