A panel titled "Beyond Competing Blocs: Preserving Space for Global Science" at the Falling Walls Science House on Karl-Marx-Allee. It is hosted by the Hasso Plattner Institute together with Falling Walls, with speakers including Bill Rosehart of the University of Waterloo, Helga Nowotny, formerly of the European Research Council, and El Mouhoub Mouhoud of PSL University. The discussion addresses how higher education institutions can manage geopolitical risks such as security concerns, technological dependencies and threats to academic freedom without withdrawing from global engagement. It also asks how countries can chart an independent course as a trusted platform for worldwide scientific collaboration and discovery.
