How free is science? Is it under pressure or even threatened – and if so, by whom and how? These questions concern not only researchers as science shapes all of our daily lives, from technological innovations to education to political decisions. The question of the conditions for academic freedom is of general interest.
In the WOC Book Talk #5, focusing on the recently published volume Wissenschaftsfreiheit im Widerspruch (Academic Freedom in Conflict) by the WOC GradNet, Martin Herrnstadt will speak with Katharina Nowak, Jessica Nuske, and Jonas Trochemowitz, all of whom are part of the authors’ collective, about current debates and societal challenges surrounding academic freedom.
Following the discussion, the audience is warmly invited to join in, ask questions, and contribute their own perspectives. The event is open to anyone interested.
When? Wednesday, July 08, 2026
Time: 6:15 – 7:45 p.m.
Location: House of Science (Haus der Wissenschaft), Sandstrasse 4/5, 28195, Bremen
