Grand reception at the 25th anniversary of the Faculty of Economics, Law and Social Sciences

After a welcoming address by Thuringia's Minister President Professor Mario Voigt, former Federal President Joachim Gauck will give his keynote speech on "Liberal democracy in times of upheaval". This will be followed by a panel discussion in which Professor Bettina Rockenbach (President of the Leopoldina), Liv Volkmann, Dr Fabian Disselbeck and Professor Michael Riegner will talk about "Economics, Law and Social Sciences Then – Today – Tomorrow". Music will be played in between and guests will have the opportunity to reminisce and chat in the foyer.

In the run-up to the celebrations, we spoke to Professor Miriam Zschoche, Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Law and Social Sciences, for our campus blog – about how it all began back then, how the faculty stands today and what ideas it would like to take into the future.
