What does the climate crisis mean for coexistence in society? What are the implications of global migration movements? How can more sustainable urban spaces be designed? Questions dealing with the challenges of our present can only be answered through interdisciplinary approaches. But what does interdisciplinary cooperation in science actually look like? What interfaces can be found between cultural studies and biology, history and medicine, or literary studies and physics? How do researchers from different disciplines approach current topics? What are the similarities and differences in their perspectives - and how can something new emerge from them?

The lecture series enables interdisciplinary encounters on the question of how the "Liberal Arts and Sciences" can be shaped today. In each session, two scholars from different research disciplines consider a common subject and exchange ideas about it. In this way, interdisciplinary work and thinking becomes visible in a very practical way and can be experienced in a performative way.
