Einstein Day 2024

29th November 2024 | 7 pm | Nikolaisaal Potsdam

At Einstein Day 2024 in Potsdam's Nikolaisaal, the new annual theme 2025|26 ‘Resolving Conflicts!’ will take center stage. Over the next couple of years, a wide range of BBAW activities, also in cooperation with partner institutions, will explore solutions in a world of multiple crises. While the thorough diagnosis of conflicts is usually already well advanced, there is often a lack of equally in-depth thinking about solutions. This causes concern and fear to spread; many fear economic problems, social decline and political uncertainty. The Academy would like to contribute to solution-orientated thinking and thus encourage people to look to the future.

The speaker, Anita Traninger, a Romance philologist at Berlin's Freie Universität, will introduce the new annual theme. In addition, as every year, news from the Academy's work will be reported by the President, a review will be presented at the end of the Kant anniversary year and prizes will be awarded. Lisa Bassenge and Andreas Lang will perform music.
