How can Israel-related anti-Semitism be recognised? What distinguishes it from legitimate criticism of Israeli policy? And how should comparisons and exaggerations be dealt with, especially in light of German history? Members of Die Junge Akademie would like to address these questions in a workshop. Speeches by experts from anti-Semitism research, linguistics, sociology and political science will serve as a basis.

Members of the RG Artificial Intelligence will meet for an interdisciplinary dialogue on the chances and limits of AI and its applications. Different disciplines bring different perspectives to the table and similar sounding concepts do not necessarily mean the same. Moreover, even if concepts are the same across disciplines, different fields might focus on distinct aspects. The workshop “Interdisciplinary Conversations on the Fairness, Explainability and Uncertainty of AI” tries to bridge these gaps and brings researchers from different disciplines in conversation about these three major concepts of current research on AI.

Valeska Huber, historian and member of Die Junge Akademie, and the team of her Emmy Noether Research Group “Reaching the People: Communication and Global Orders in the Twentieth Century” will organize a one-day workshop on “Global Publics and their Actors” on September 9, 2022.

As part of the project "Lucid Dreaming, Now and Then", medievalist Racha Kirakosian (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and Hamburg Institute for Advanced Study) is organising an internal workshop on "Mental Images in the Middle Ages and Neuroscience - New Perspectives".

The ability to see images before "the inner eye" was theoretically discussed in scholastic writings in the Middle Ages as well as critically presented in literary texts. Mental images such as visions, daydreams and sleep dreams played an important role in epistemological processes, religious experiences and artistic arguments for the question of finding and representing truth. Despite their importance for the historical understanding of the human brain, however, medieval concepts of "inner vision" remain under-researched. Can current findings from the neurosciences help to open up the medieval sources in a new way? And, conversely, can ideas from the Middle Ages inspire innovative experiments in the field of neuropsychology? The Hamburg workshop will address these questions by bringing together scientists from the relevant fields for an interdisciplinary discussion.

Münster will host the official kick-off event of the series "The 7 Greatest Adventures in Mathematics" on 15 June 2022.

Die Junge Akademie`s summer plenary session takes place in Berlin.

Scientific selection processes are essentially based on quality valuations about research. These quality valuations can be anonymous, as in peer review, or public, as in the case of the review. In any case, they are gatekeepers that determine which research contributions receive visibility and which do not. And: they are themselves places of scientific dispute. In the workshop "Review, Peer-Review, Tweet. Old and new quality valuations in science", members of the RG Cultures of Debate want to discuss which norms shape this form of debate and how they are changing. Three sessions with different guests are planned.

The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities invites you to the Salon Sophie Charlotte 2022 - "still, LIFE IS LIFE". Hosting a special dinner party, Die Junge Akademie will contribute to the Salon.
