The deep, often insatiable desire to understand the unknown and discover the new. Deeply anchored in people, it is the actual driver of progress and innovation\u2014the basis for our prosperity.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">The history of science shows that openness is a key element of success as well: encounters and exchanges. Above all, the willingness to listen, reflect and accept new perspectives. The unique partnership between the Universities of Waseda and Bonn, which has existed across continents for decades, is an outstanding example of this.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">The \u201cspecial lecture\u201d is dedicated to the importance of these basic attitudes for science and how universities can support and promote them. It also explores the question of how important curiosity and openness are for societies in an increasingly fast-moving world that is changing fundamentally at a geopolitical level. Especially in times of uncertainty, in which \u201cold\u201d beliefs are being questioned.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u3000Date &amp; Time: Thursday, October 3rd,<br \/>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Starts at 10:30am (Doors open at 10:00am) till 11:30am<\/div>\n<div>\u3000Programs: Special\u00a0Lecture<br \/>\n\u3000\u3000\uff5eEncounters and exchange: Why science (and societies) need curiosity and openness\uff5e<br \/>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Presenter: Michael Hoch\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<u><a id=\"OWA7dfb0530-f7a8-1835-d3e3-59682444215f\" class=\"x_x_OWAAutoLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-bonn.de\/en\/university\/organisation-and-institutions\/rectorate\/rector\" data-linkindex=\"1\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">Rector \u2014 University of Bonn (uni-bonn.de)<\/a><\/u><\/div>\n<div>\u3000Language: English<\/div>\n<div>\u3000Venue: Waseda Univ.
