What value do we place on nature and the preservation of creation? Health does not begin with a tablet or an MRI scan. Health begins with the air we breathe, the plants we eat, the water we drink, comfortable temperatures and peaceful coexistence. In his talk, Dr Eckart von Hirschhausen uses surprising examples to show how research from Erfurt reaches the wider world, and how the world’s influence then flows back to Erfurt and into the political arena.

Doors open at 6 pm. Please register at www.thueringer-allgemeine.de/ringvorlesung.
