With the Nexus Dialogues the Institute for Planetary Health Behaviour is launching a new series of lectures open to the university public at the interface of climate, health and democracy.
The aim is to discuss key future issues together and develop answers.
In the Nexus Dialogues experts share their findings on climate, health and democracy and enter into an open dialogue with the audience. This creates a lively exchange between the disciplines that we bring to our work and society.
Anyone interested in the major challenges of our time and who would like to actively participate in the dialogue between research and everyday life is cordially invited. Participation is free of charge. Registration is not required.
