In a world of constant change, there is a pressing need for all of us to re-imagine likely challenges and scenarios to address the future.
In this event, thinkers from Berlin, Oxford and beyond are coming together to look at likely futures for a complex world where the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ interact uneasily. They chart the move from global challenges to planetary imperatives and the impact of new technologies and of new forms of scientific knowledge (on democratic development, on health, on new forms of energy and ideas of social organisation and connectivity).
This event is in English.
