Speaker:
Scientists of the Clusters of Excellence

What exactly is swarm intelligence? How do politicians make decisions, and how do animal swarms? Can the use of AI in the workplace succeed? On July 18, 2024, scientists from the two Konstanz Clusters of Excellence will answer your questions.

Have you ever experienced this: You read an article in the newspaper about a new study, the news refers to “scientifically proven findings” and you would love to know what exactly and, above all, who is behind it? On 18 July from 5pm to 8pm, you have the chance to find out. Scientists from the Clusters of Excellence “Collective Behaviour” and “The Politics of Inequality” at the University of Konstanz will come to the harbour of Konstanz and answer your burning questions.

They will bring with them insights from their research on the major topics of our time:

• Protests
• Vaccine research
• Artificial intelligence in the workplace
• How animals see the world
• Climate resilience
• Nutrition strategies of humans and animals
• The inequality barometer
• Decision-making in politics and the animal world

Ten research teams will be on hand to answer your questions in a personal dialogue. To give you a first idea of the topics, the Clusters of Excellence have hired an artist to illustrate the scientifically complex content on posters and make it tangible. Take a look at the posters and then – let your questions take the stage.

The event is funded by forum.konstanz and takes place as part of the event series "Vom Gießberg in die Stadt - Themen, Formate, Methoden des Lehrtransfers".
