Das Fundament der Schweiz – Wie zeitgemäss ist unsere Bundesverfassung?
Was regelt die Bundesverfassung im Detail? Was hat sich im Verlauf der letzten 175 Jahre seit ihrer Verabschiedung verändert? Wie gross ist überhaupt der Spielraum für Veränderung? Wie gut ist die Schweiz im 21. Jahrhundert politisch aufgestellt? Wo gibt es Verbesserungspotential und wohin möchten wir uns in Zukunft entwickeln? Welche Chancen und Gefahren birgt die zunehmende Digitalisierung für unsere Demokratie und das politische Geschäft?
Open discussions between laymen and scientists
There have been Science Cafés in Bern since May 2000. The project is organized and supported by the University of Bern with the Science et Cité Foundation, the Bern University of Teacher Education and the Bern University of Applied Sciences.
Who attends? The public, managers from the scientific and political communities, wider society and professional moderators.
When does it take place? Every first Monday in the month, at 20 p.m. until 21.30 p.m.
What is discussed? Scientists are asked current questions from everyday life
Why? To encourage discussions between the university and the population, to reduce anxiety about and provide insight into the work carried out in the alleged ivory tower.
Cafés were always popular places for meeting to discuss current events and exchange opinions. You can discuss these problems face to face with researchers at the university and with movers and shakers from the world of politics and society once a month, ask your questions, express your anxieties and suggest your ideas for possible solutions – or simply listen to what others think.
