Kassel's questions for the future at the Science Slam
Image: University of Kassel.Science and entertainment - at the Science Slam, these opposites attract. UniKasselTransfer, Scientists for Future Kassel and Staatstheater Kassel have invited scientists to classify questions from Kassel's citizens to and for science. These were collected during the ZUKUNFTSDIALOGE in March of this year as part of the Science Year 2022 - Inquired!
With moderator Felix Römer, poetry slammer, literary art also has a place on the stage of this interdisciplinary collaboration. He welcomes, among others, Professor Hans-Jürgen Burchardt from the University of Kassel, who addresses the citizen question of how global justice can be established. Professor Björn Frank from the Department of Microeconomics will deal with the balance between economy and ecology, and Svenja Quitsch from the Department of Globalization and Politics will address the question of alternatives to the concept of growth for society and the economy. Science slammer Janina Otto, who as a human biologist brings a new perspective on saving democracy, has traveled especially to the event. After the stage program, there will be plenty of time to talk to the scientists personally and to challenge them with further questions.

Background:
The interdisciplinary collaboration of UniKasselTransfer, Staatstheater Kassel and Scientists for Future Kassel is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, among others, as part of the Science Year 2022 - In Demand! In different event formats, the dialogue between science, art and society is opened up in order to embark together on the search for alternative paths to a more sustainable society. Artistically, the collaboration is characterized by the Temple of Alternative Histories: A three-part, processual artwork of the State Theater, consisting of exhibition (Temple of Materialised Histories), stage work (Temple of Appropriated Histories) and open, scientific discourse (Temple of Emerging Histories). Together, new paths of cooperation will be explored in order to embark on a processual search for a new narrative of the relationship between humans and nature with the visitors.
Science Year 2022 - Inquired!
#MyQuestionforScience
The Year of Science 2022 - Inquired! invites all citizens to pose their own personal questions for science and thus provide impulses for potential future fields and future research projects. After all, science and research permeate all areas of our lives. Whether it is the growing importance of algorithms in everyday life or the impact of our lifestyle on the global climate: Society is facing major challenges at the beginning of the 21st century. In order to master these together and actively shape our society, engaging with research findings and contributing our own perspectives are crucial.
The Science Years are an initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) together with Wissenschaft im Dialog (WiD). For 22 years, they have supported the exchange between research and society as a central instrument of science communication.
