SUMMARY:The Sciences in Intercultural Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Exchange is crucial for science. But what happens when that exc
 hange becomes a one-way street? At the Leopoldina’s Annual Assembly 2016, s
 cientists from various fields and disciplines will take a critical look at 
 the global knowledge culture and discuss the accusation of cultural imperia
 lism levelled at Western science. For it is clear that Western theories and
  methods are increasingly claiming universal validity.\n\nBy selecting this
  topic, the Leopoldina is responding to a conflict situation within the sci
 ences that is similar to the economic, political and religious conflicts th
 at are arising with globalisation. The two-day meeting will itself constitu
 te an intercultural dialogue, featuring lectures from scientists from place
 s as far flung as Israel, Saudi Arabia, China and Senegal. The speakers com
 e from a wide range of fields including engineering, law, history and medic
 ine.\n\nOn the evening of the first day of the conference, historian Prof. 
 Jürgen Osterhammel ML of the University of Konstanz will explore where the 
 limits of intercultural dialogue lie, looking at cases where resistance is 
 so great it can only be described as hostility.\n\nProf. Dr. Otfried Höffe,
  member of the Leopoldina, is the scientific coordinator of the annual asse
 mbly 2016.\n\nContact and Registration\n\nRegistration is closed. Contactja
