Following the successful launch of the event series "KlimaLectures" on the subject of microplastics, Die Junge Akademie invites to the second "KlimaLecture" on the subject of ethics and climate change at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities on Friday, January 24, 2020.

The climate ethicist Dr. Eugen Pissarskoi will reflect on how recommendations for climate policy action should be justified in the light of existing uncertainties.

Die Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, der Botanische Garten und das Botanische Museum Berlin, das CTM-Festival for Adventurous Music and Art, Deutschlandfunk Kultur und Die Junge Akademie laden unter dem Titel „Natur. Nach Humboldt“ ein: Vom 24. Januar bis zum 2. Februar 2020 können Besucher*innen im Großen Tropenhaus eine 360°-Sound-Installation erleben. Abschluss und Höhepunkt bildet eine „Art meets Science“-Matinee...

The Research Group Popular Culture(s), together with the Literaturhaus Leipzig e.V., will be kicking off the event series “diejungeakademie@” as part of the 20^th anniversary of Die Junge Akademie in 2020.

Four researchers, and members of Die Junge Akademie would like to place the form of Antigone against the backdrop of political events and cultural trends in society, and, from a historical, philological, literary, and philosophical standpoint, ask the question: How is she still relevant today? Excerpts will be read aloud from Friedrich Hölderlins translation of Antigone (1804): reviled as they were written, to this day controversial, but powerfully spoken and now used more and more.

In 2020, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities will again open its doors, inviting the public to the "Salon Sophie Charlotte" - this year on the theme of "Worldviews". The ten members of Die Junge Akademie who were admitted in the summer of 2019 are taking part in the Salon with their own campaign on the topic.

Worldviews are not only spatially and temporally limited, they are also influenced by social circumstances. Science is not exempt from this: Despite the ideal of objectivity, researchers' thoughts and actions are influenced by certain views of the world - scientific, but also non-scientific. The ten new members of Die Junge Akademie focus on scientific worldviews - and thus also on the worldviews of scientists!

The meeting of the current council of Die Junge Akademie with the members will take place in Berlin this year.

On 10 and 11 January 2020, the RG Artificial Intelligence is organising its first workshop in Frankfurt am Main entitled "AI and University". On the first day, the workshop will deal with the topic "AI research despite basic data protection regulations". On the second day, the focus will be on "Using AIs in Education" (so-called Learning Analytics).
