...with the Department of Political Science! The transfer of knowledge to a broader public outside the university is very important to us. Especially in times of fake news, populism and anti-democratic tendencies, we want to contribute to the process of public opinion-formation with our scientific insights. We invite journalists, representatives of the civil society, NGOs, political parties, the public administration, and schools to contact us for interviews, lectures, workshops etc. on the following topics. You can also download the list to receive further contact information.
We look forward to your requests!
