Die Konferenz wird von der Stiftung Mercator, dem Forum Internationale Wissenschaft der Universität Bonn, der University of Sussex und dem Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society gemeinsam ausgerichtet. Fünf verschiedene Diskussionsrunden und vier Einführungsvorträge sollen dazu dienen, das Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Politik systematisch zu untersuchen. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Frage, wie sich die Wissenschaft auf die veränderten Ansprüche und den sich wandelnden Bedarf der Politik einstellt. Wie wirken sich diese Veränderungen auf wissenschaftliche Politikberatung, die Kommunikationsformen der Wissenschaft, ihre Auswahlkriterien für Forschungsagenden und ihre institutionelle Verfasstheit aus? Und welche Rolle spielen Stiftungen, die sich an der Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenschaft und Politik bewegen?

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
