INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 15-17 May:
Science and policy in times of multicrisis and dissent: Issues of framing, authority, evidence – and political-economic power: Programme and registration: ensser.org/events/2025/co…
ENSSER will support the standpoint that most societal options are not immediate, but involve long-term commitment to radically more modest and societally self-reflective learning, supporting a science which feeds and is fed by those normative principles in nature and society.
By promoting open debate and #reflection, this #conference aims to engage with the plurality of perspectives. It will also examine attempts to polarise and over-simplify debates, which often happens by deploying misinformation and opportunistic selections of #experts +evidence
[...]In this conference we shall examine interactions between policy and science in areas that clearly differ in the extent of disagreement among scientists, and we will scrutinise the roles of industry and other interests [...] Programme and registration: ensser.org
[...] Disagreements and honest ##debate are key intellectual and normative influences on healthy #scientific openness, and on the direction and pace of technoscientific change and #innovations. [...] Programme and registration: ensser.org
