Coming up: Cornelia Betsch at ZEIT Forum Wissenschaft

The 87th ZEIT Forum Wissenschaft will take place on November 23, 2022 at 7 pm at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW). On stage, Prof. Dr. Cornelia Betsch, Prof. Dr. Alena Buyx and Health Minister Prof. Dr. Karl Lauterbach will discuss "Virus X - How we should prepare for the next pandemic."

The event will address the overarching theme of "Public Health" and would like to ask: What have politics and science learned from the Covid-19 pandemic and what does "pandemic preparedness" mean for us as a society and our health care system? How can we improve communication in the future? And what does climate change have to do with it? This is the topic of discussion at the 87th ZEIT Forum Wissenschaft at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW) in Berlin.
