 ole of scientists, intellectuals and scholars of the higher education syste
 m? How can science contribute to shaping change processes in the Western Ba
 lkans and South East Europe? And how can it advance European integration in
  times of change? What are the means and ways of science to contribute to r
 econciliation and rapprochement in South East Europe? What is the power of 
 science today?\n\n2. Communicating science How can scientists and the scien
 ce system better communicate the findings and contents of their work? What 
 are the challenges for science communication in the digital era? How can so
 ciety animate critical thinking, interest for research and higher education
 , and fact-based dialogue? What does society expect from science and how th
 is is being communicated? How to establish country-specific mechanisms of s
 cientific advice to political decision-makers and the public? How to make s
 cientific advice more effective?\n\nContact\n\n Lucian BrujanSpeaker of the
