If scientific facts on climate change don’t drive action, should scientists remain neutral or take a stand? Is a teaching strike an appropriate response – or what remains when urgency meets indifference? Join us to discuss the responsibilities and limits of science in times of crisis. Despite decades of research and warnings, political action remains insufficient, and the climate crisis intensifies. What role should universities and scientists play when knowledge alone fails to drive change? Should academia remain neutral, or take a more active stance—potentially even through long teaching strikes? This panel brings together scientists, activists, and students to explore the responsibilities and limits of science in times of crisis. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the role of academia in shaping political and societal transformation.
