The current issue of the Junge Akademie Magazine is all about ‘borders’. This year's issue sheds light on how the drawing and crossing of boundaries characterises our society and science, and invites readers to explore the dynamic between control and openness from different perspectives.

In the fall of 2023, members of Die Junge Akademie’s Research Group “Sustainability” held a round table discussion with 13 political decision-makers on how research on environmental issues influences their work and to what extent environmental policy reforms are guided by scientific findings.

As part of the "Expedition Anthropocene" project, six members of Die Junge Akademie travelled to Ecuador from 22 February to 9 March 2020. They have recorded their experiences and findings in a publication of the same name.

Under the title "Ungesagtes" ("Unspoken"), the five articles and one discussion deal with aspects that one would tend to contrast with and deduct from the ideal of objectivity of science as "subjective" parts. On the one hand, it is about what the researching subject brings into the scientific work in often subtle ways: own views, emotions, values, personal beliefs. On the other hand, the influence of everything subjective on human behavior is itself also a topic of research.

Beyond its organisational function as a yearly planner, Die Junge Akademie's 2023 calendar titled "2023 - one day, one day at a time" invites us to reflect on time and its patterns as integral parts of all life on earth.

Science is inconceivable without language. But what about images? In six articles, the new Junge Akademie Magazin explores this question from different perspectives.
