Editorial

Dear readers,

As the summer semester begins, we would like to use today’s newsletter to give you a preview of our upcoming events and a brief look back at some of our numerous activities over the past few months. In particular, we would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the lecture series “Shaping the Future – Between Climate Change, Technology and Social Responsibility”, to which we are inviting you as part of the exhibition “FIXING FUTURES: Planetary Futures between Speculation and Control” together with the Giersch Museum at Goethe University. Between May and July 2025, experts from various scientific disciplines will shed light on key issues and challenges of shaping the future in the face of climate change. Topics such as the fair distribution of resources, the use of artificial intelligence and algorithms as well as intergenerational perspectives on the law will be the focus. We look forward to seeing you there and wish you an interesting summer semester 2025!
