Michael Hagner, former professor of science studies at ETH Zurich, explores what scientific freedom means and how it is justified from a historical perspective. He discusses how political expectations, public controversy and declining trust in scientific findings put research and teaching freedom under pressure, and explains why this freedom must be defended repeatedly. The lecture takes place in Winterthur and will be streamed live.
